Lyrics

He softly told you everything.

He shared personal details with you in a gentle manner.

he never knew you didn't care.

He was unaware that you were indifferent or apathetic.

break his heart again. smile and prepare for all the words he screams.

Break his heart again and be prepared for the emotional aftermath, including his outbursts.

give him a reason - anything but silence or the truth.

Provide him with any reason, avoiding silence or the truth.

He'll Hate you now.

As a result of the mentioned actions, he will now harbor hatred towards you.


Remember how he held you for all those lonely nights

Recall the moments when he comforted you during lonely nights.

you know you shared

Acknowledge the shared experiences between the two of you.

and remember how you never cared about anything he said.

Reflect on how you disregarded anything he expressed.

well now he's dead to you so bury him instead.

He is now emotionally dead to you, and you are urged to bury those feelings.


Word's out i'm not the man i used to be.

There is a revelation that the speaker has changed as a person.

you knew it all along that i felt this way.

You were already aware of the speaker's feelings expressed in this way.

so i put in this song. tear me apart for pouring out my heart.

The speaker has encapsulated these emotions in a song, anticipating criticism for being vulnerable.

you know it wouldn't phase you in the least.

Your lack of reaction wouldn't affect the speaker significantly.

i hate you now.

The speaker now harbors hatred towards you.


remember how i held you for all the lonely nights you know we shared

Remember the shared intimate moments during lonely nights.

and remember how you never cared about anything i said

Reflect on how you dismissed everything the speaker communicated.

and now i'm dead to you.

The speaker is now emotionally dead to you, requesting to be metaphorically buried.

so bury me instead.


So here's the one about every heart you stole.

Addressing multiple instances of hearts being stolen.

and you're so sure that you're not a thief at all.

You are confident that you are not a thief, despite the mentioned heartache.

i'm the one who's stealing you and this ransom's overdue.

The speaker feels like they are the one losing in the relationship, and there's a metaphorical ransom that hasn't been fulfilled.

everything that's in me says that i hate you now.

The speaker's internal conflict is pushing them to express hatred towards you.


remember how i held you for all those lonely nights you know we shared

Recall the shared moments during lonely nights.

and remember how you never cared about anything i said

Reflect on how you disregarded anything the speaker expressed.

and now i'm dead to you.

The speaker is now emotionally dead to you, requesting to be metaphorically buried.
