Lyrics
Could you imagine a life without you
Contemplating a life without the person being addressed.
Can you turn a house into a home
Questioning if a mere physical space can feel like a true home.
When I ever cried about you
Reflecting on moments of emotional distress related to the person.
I always felt like I was living alone
Expressing a sense of isolation despite being in a relationship.
But you couldn't be around me
Acknowledging the emotional distance due to unresolved issues.
Cause you can't look past all the lies that we told
Pointing out the challenge of overcoming past deception.
So can you please allow me
Pleading for the opportunity to reopen a closed chapter.
To finally open up a door that we closed
Desiring closure by addressing past issues.
You make it hard to stay
Expressing difficulty in remaining in the relationship.
When you look away
Feeling neglected or rejected when the person looks away.
How could it get any worse
Raising the question of how the situation could worsen.
You imagine a life on earth
Contemplating an idealized existence on Earth.
If the world was burning and the sky fell down
Picturing a scenario of chaos and crisis in the world.
Would you take my hand or would you let me drown
Seeking reassurance about support in times of trouble.
If I said I needed you to hold me down
Expressing a need for emotional support and stability.
Would you leave me stranded in an empty town
Fearing abandonment in a difficult situation.
I couldn't take anymore
Reaching a breaking point, unable to endure further pain.
So I decided it was better to leave
Choosing to end the relationship for self-preservation.
I made mistakes before
Admitting past mistakes but emphasizing intense suffering.
But suffered pain like you would never believe
Comparing the pain experienced to an unimaginable level.
If you understood how to love
Challenging the person to understand the depth of emotional pain.
Then you would see how much I'm broken inside
Revealing internal brokenness that is hidden from others.
And if I was good enough
Pleading for acknowledgment and validation if worthy of love.
Maybe then you wouldn't let me die
Suggesting that love could prevent a metaphorical death.
You make it hard to stay
Reiterating the difficulty in maintaining the relationship.
When you look away
Highlighting the emotional impact of being ignored or avoided.
How could it get any worse
Raising the rhetorical question about the worsening situation.
You imagine a life on earth
Revisiting the concept of an idealized life on Earth.
If the world was burning and the sky fell down
Repeating the imagery of a world in crisis, seeking support.
Would you take my hand or would you let me drown
Asking for commitment and assistance in challenging times.
If I said I needed you to hold me down
Expressing vulnerability and the need for emotional anchoring.
Would you leave me stranded in an empty town
Fearing abandonment in a desolate place without support.
