Unveiling Pandora's Embrace: A Heart Torn Between Love and Departure
Lyrics
At night there's a glow from the window
At night, there's a visible light coming from the window.
The street lamps illuminate my room
Street lamps are casting light into the room.
And tonight that light will be put to good use
The light will be purposefully used tonight.
Words in a notebook
Written words in a notebook.
Pages of unspoken truths
Pages filled with unspoken truths.
A text that i will never send
A text message that will remain unsent.
A heart that breaks only for you
A heart that only breaks for a specific person.
How can i leave you
The difficulty of leaving when unsure if the person will stay.
When i don't even know if you'd stay
The speaker is uncertain about the other person's commitment.
And how can i fall in love
The challenge of falling in love when the heart is not freely available.
When my heart isn't mine to give away
The heart doesn't belong to the speaker to give away.
I know you must think so little of me
Feeling judged as having little worth.
To leave you so pathetically
Regret for leaving in a pitiful manner.
The last word i uttered was stay
The last spoken word was a plea to stay.
Now i've opened up Pandora's box
A reference to opening Pandora's box, suggesting unintended consequences.
It left me with the bones of all the lovers that i couldn't save
The aftermath includes the remnants of failed relationships.
And i find their remains are engraved with my name
The speaker feels responsible for the lovers they couldn't save.
At night there's a glow from the window
A repetition of the earlier description of the night's glow.
And i can't bear to tell you the truth
The speaker is reluctant to reveal the truth.
So let the wreckage of my soul swallow the heart of a fool
The speaker's soul is in turmoil, affecting someone considered a fool.
I cannot leave you
The speaker cannot leave but lacks the courage to stay.
But i don't have the courage to stay
Uncertainty and fear about commitment.
And i cannot fall in love
The impossibility of falling in love when the heart is not free.
When my heart isn't mine to give away
The heart is not available for the speaker to give away.
Oh how can i fall in love
A repetition of the challenge of falling in love with a restricted heart.
When my heart isn't mine to give away
Reiterating that the heart is not available for the speaker to give away.
