Lyrics
There's no use in cutting me loose yet
Expressing that being set free or separated is not beneficial at the moment.
I beg you, don't leave me behind
Pleading not to be abandoned or left behind.
Some faces you must forget
Acknowledging the necessity of forgetting certain faces in life.
But baby, please not mine
Begging the partner not to be one of those faces to forget.
On a cold night
Setting the emotional scene – the events are happening on a cold night.
Feel like I'm out of my own skin
Feeling disconnected or disoriented, possibly due to emotional distress.
Or maybe just my mind
Speculating if the detachment is mental rather than physical.
A skeleton
Describing a feeling of emptiness, like a skeleton with nothing inside.
Some bones with nothing left inside
Emphasizing the hollowness or lack of substance within oneself.
On a cold night
Reiterating that these feelings are experienced on a cold night.
Don't lock me out
Asking not to be excluded and emphasizing unpreparedness for rejection.
I'm not dressed for it
Highlighting emotional vulnerability and a need for inclusion.
I know you got more love
Acknowledging the partner's capacity for love and asking for a bit more.
Just a little more
Expressing a desire for a small increase in affection or attention.
Made you stop the car
Describing a dramatic moment – stopping a moving car during an argument.
Got out while it was running
Highlighting impulsivity – getting out of the car while it's still running.
Followed me down the block
Stalking away from the vehicle, unaware of impending consequences.
Still didn't see it coming
Expressing surprise at the unexpected turn of events.
Used to only fight like this if I knew I'd win
Recalling a time when arguments were engaged only if victory was assured.
If time heals the wounds you tend to
Raising a question about the effectiveness of time in healing emotional wounds.
Then right now what's left?
Reflecting on the current state of emotional wounds.
On a cold night
Reiterating the setting as a cold night.
Sometimes you draw back the curtains to let in just enough light
Describing the act of letting in just enough light, possibly metaphorical.
Feel it on my face
Feeling the impact of light on the face, hinting at a positive moment.
And I forget I'm frightened
Forgetting fear in the presence of light and positivity.
Then you give me nothing
Expressing disappointment or emotional withdrawal from the partner.
Lose all emotion
Losing emotional connection or responsiveness.
Forget the past
Choosing to forget the past, possibly as a coping mechanism.
I leave a track of tears behind me
Leaving behind a visible trail of emotional distress or pain.
Stepping out on broken glass
Illustrating the difficulty of moving forward on a path filled with emotional pain.
Sometimes you draw back the curtains to let in just enough light
Repeating the metaphor of drawing back curtains for a glimpse of positivity.
Feel it on my face
Feeling the impact of light again, but the fear returns.
And I forget I'm frightened
Forgetting fear briefly, only to have it return with disappointment.
Then you give me nothing
Experiencing emotional withdrawal or lack of responsiveness from the partner.
Lose all emotion

Forget the past
