Lyrics
My lifeless shaky hands hold onto loves demands
Expressing a feeling of weakness or lack of vitality, holding onto the requirements or expectations of love.
I pray you'd understand, I'm just as scared as you
Expressing a hope for understanding, acknowledging mutual fear or anxiety in the relationship.
My hopeless hollow eyes, as empty as the night
Describing eyes that lack hope or emotion, feeling as empty as the night.
I drained your blood and tried trading old lies for truth
Having deceived or hurt the partner, attempting to replace past falsehoods with honesty.
Days go slowly, nights feel lonely
Describing the slow passage of time, feeling loneliness during the nights.
Touch me, hold me
Expressing a desire for physical connection and comfort.
You could save me if you'd only
Implying that the partner has the potential to rescue or help.
Say you want me, say you want me
Requesting confirmation of desire from the partner.
I just can't watch you go
Expressing an inability to witness the partner leaving.
Say you love me, love me only
Requesting exclusive love and affection from the partner, but advising patience in expressing it.
Wait until you know
Advising the partner to wait until they are certain about their feelings.
My shattered broken half is filled with broken glass
Describing a broken self filled with emotional pain and fragility.
From every time I asked too much of you, I knew
Acknowledging previous mistakes in demanding too much from the partner and the resulting hurt.
One day, things would change
Expressing a belief that circumstances will change someday.
And one day, we could say that
Anticipating a time when both could acknowledge or admit something.
One day, this storm would pass, pass over me and you
Believing that eventually, the difficult situation or conflict will pass.
Days go slowly
Reiterating the slow passage of time.
Say you want me, say you want me
Reiterating the desire for confirmation of the partner's desire.
I just can't watch you go
Reiterating the inability to witness the partner leaving.
Say you love me, love me only
Reiterating the request for exclusive love, urging the partner to be sure before expressing it.
Wait until you know
Encouraging the partner to wait until certain about their feelings.
You can run and be free, if that's what you need
Granting the partner freedom to leave, but also expressing a hope for their return.
But if you turn back around, would you run to me and
Asking if the partner would choose to come back and affirm their desire for the speaker.
Say you want me, say you want me
Reiterating the plea for confirmation of the partner's desire for the speaker.
