Lyrics
On my own, dyin' to tell you things
Feeling the need to share personal thoughts and emotions while being alone.
I couldn't tell myself, I held it all within
Struggling to express inner feelings and keeping them hidden.
On my own, dyin' to tell you things
Similar to line 1, emphasizing the desire to communicate while solitary.
I couldn't tell myself, I held it all within
Reiteration of the internal struggle to articulate emotions.
Could you hold my head while I hold my breath?
Asking for support during a challenging moment, seeking comfort.
'Til this feeling's numb, 'til there ain't nothin' left
Wishing for emotional numbness until the pain dissipates.
Could you steal my lungs? Could you be my chest?
Metaphorically asking for someone to provide support and stability.
'Til the feeling's gone, 'til the feeling's dead
Desiring the feeling to fade away completely.
Could you hold my head while I hold my breath?
Repetition of seeking assistance during a difficult period.
'Til the feeling's numb, 'til there ain't nothin' left
Continuing the desire for emotional desensitization.
Could you steal my lungs? Will you be my chest?
Asking for someone to be a source of support and comfort.
'Til the feeling's gone, 'til the feeling's dead
Wanting the emotional pain to cease entirely.
When you find your feet, when you find your peace
When finding stability and tranquility, questioning the request to depart.
You want me to leave, I just wanna know
Expressing a desire for clarity regarding the reasons for separation.
Why tears don't dry on their own
Questioning why emotional wounds don’t heal naturally.
When you found receipts, when you found deceit
When discovering dishonesty, expressing a lack of interest in details.
When you tried to cheat, I don't wanna know
Rejecting the desire to know about infidelity.
My tears don't dry on their own, I'm all alone
Expressing personal pain that doesn’t diminish, feeling isolated.
I been home alone (been home alone)
Referencing being alone at home.
Feelings still strong (feelings still strong)
Emphasizing enduring emotions despite the passage of time.
Been a lost soul (been a lost soul)
Feeling adrift and lost since the person departed.
Ever since you went ghost, rode off on your white horse
Metaphorically referring to the person leaving abruptly.
Show me your thoughts, now the ball's in your court
Requesting the other person to express their thoughts.
Serve me up like Serena, girl
Comparing to tennis player Serena Williams, asking to be engaged actively.
Play me in the arenas, in front of all your people, yeah
Willingness to be involved publicly in the other person's life.
Play me like I'm Venus, so they can see your genius, yeah
Desiring acknowledgment and appreciation for their worth.
Plant me my seed, blood on my leaves
Metaphorically referring to nurturing a relationship but facing its consequences.
Eye for an eye, it's been a long night
Implying a sense of retribution or balancing the scales.
Show me your demons
Asking the other person to reveal their inner struggles.
When you find your feet, when you find your peace
Similar to lines 15 and 16, questioning the need to depart after finding stability.
You want me to leave, I just wanna know
Reiterating the desire for understanding regarding the need for separation.
Why tears don't dry on their own
Questioning why emotional wounds persist despite efforts to heal.
When you found receipts, when you found deceit
Expressing disinterest in knowing details about dishonesty.
When you tried to cheat, I don't wanna know
Rejecting the desire to know about attempted infidelity.
My tears don't dry on their own, I'm all alone again
Reiterating personal pain that continues, feeling isolated once again.
On my own, dyin' to tell you things
Repeating the desire to communicate while alone, unable to do so.
I couldn't tell myself, I held it all within, yeah
Reiterating the difficulty in expressing personal thoughts and feelings.
