Lyrics

I'm running out of valuable time

I feel like time is running out, becoming scarce

Without you

The absence of you is prominent and impactful

Am I a victim of your serial crime

Am I a repeated target of your harmful actions?

Or just a taboo

Or am I just something forbidden or prohibited?

You know that

Emphasizing a connection to the previous lines, a continuation


Whenever we're together you just tear me apart

When we are together, you emotionally hurt me

A filament of my illumination

Illuminating metaphor: a thread of my understanding or insight

Love that's never ever isn't really that smart

Love that never lasts isn't wise; questioning previous choices

How could I be so blind

Expressing regret or realization of past blindness


Since you left me I live life day by day

Since you left, I'm living day by day, facing the challenges

Without you

The continuing impact of your absence on my life

And at the risk of sounding like a cliche

Admitting the risk of sounding cliché about the emotional impact

It's making me blue

Feeling sadness or depression because of the situation

You know that

Reiterating the emotional impact when together


Whenever we're together you just tear me apart

Repetition of emotional turmoil caused when together

A filament of my illumination

Metaphorically, a thread of understanding is further emphasized

Love that's never ever isn't really that smart

Reflection on love that doesn't endure and its lack of wisdom

How could I be so blind

Expressing regret or realization of past blindness

I just can't get you out of my mind

Struggling to forget or move on from thoughts of you


Is that fear a loathing that I see shine through your eyes

Seeing fear and disgust in your eyes; questioning sincerity

A sheep in wolf's clothing well it took me by surprise

Being deceived by someone who appeared harmless


Whenever we're together you just tear me apart

Repetition of emotional turmoil caused when together

A filament of my illumination

Metaphorically, a thread of understanding is further emphasized

Love that's never ever isn't really that smart

Reflection on love that doesn't endure and its lack of wisdom

How could I be so blind

Expressing regret or realization of past blindness

I just can't get you out of my mind

Struggling to forget or move on from thoughts of you


Is that fear a loathing that I see shine through your eyes

Seeing fear and disgust in your eyes; questioning sincerity

A sheep in wolf's clothing would have fell for your disguise

Being deceived by someone who appeared harmless

A sheep in wolf's clothing well it took me by surprise

Repeating the idea of being deceived by someone seemingly innocent

How could I be so blind

Expressing regret or realization of past blindness

I just can't get you out of my mind

Struggling to forget or move on from thoughts of you

Out of my mind

Repeated emphasis on the difficulty of forgetting
