Lyrics
I could barely breathe
I faced extreme difficulty.
Fuck, I barely made it
I barely survived; it was a close call.
I could barely stand
My physical and emotional state was fragile.
I could hardly take it
The situation was almost unbearable for me.
Fallin' in the dark
I experienced a descent into darkness.
Feelin' like I'm wasted
I felt wasted and depleted.
Apart I cannot last
Being apart from something is causing my distress.
Last time I was shaken
I was deeply affected the last time.
Heart made out of glass
My heart is fragile and easily breakable.
It was made for breaking
It seems designed to be broken.
Heart made out of glass
Repetition of the fragile nature of the heart.
Baby, please don't break it
Plea to avoid causing harm to the fragile heart.
Left me in the past
I was abandoned in the past.
Knew that you would break me
Anticipation of being broken by someone.
Heart made out of glass
Reiteration of the vulnerability of the heart.
How could you do it again
Expressing disbelief at a repeated betrayal.
Fuck, I let you in
Regret for allowing someone into one's life.
You crawled in my bed, then crawled in my head
Describing an intimate intrusion affecting thoughts.
No, I don't understand
Confusion about the situation.
Love isn't planned
Love doesn't follow a plan.
She made me a man
Someone transformed the speaker into a man.
But I can't make amends for what you did
Unable to make up for past actions.
Did it over and over and over again
Repetition of a cycle of destructive behavior.
I'm blacking out in the back of the Benz
Experiencing a loss of consciousness in a car.
Fuck it, I'm bent
Acceptance of being emotionally altered.
Off the liquor and I'm slurrin' again
Intoxication leading to slurred speech.
Off of a perky and I'm swervin' again
Being under the influence and swerving.
I know that this is the end, the sadness a trend
Acknowledging the end and recognizing sadness as a pattern.
This heart wasn't made to mend
The heart isn't built to heal.
I can't shake all these sins
The speaker is burdened by past transgressions.
Praying, knowing I need saving again
Seeking salvation through prayer.
I'm sayin' amen
Expressing a religious affirmation.
Trading blue bills for the blue pills again
Trading material wealth for substances to cope.
Over and over again
Repetition of destructive behavior.
Closer to closure we get
Approaching closure, but it's challenging.
I could barely breathe
Reiteration of the initial struggle.
Fuck, I barely made it
A near-death experience or extreme hardship.
I could barely stand
Surviving against the odds.
I could hardly take it
Struggling to maintain stability.
Fallin' in the dark
Experiencing a descent into darkness again.
Feelin' like I'm wasted
Feeling wasted and depleted once more.
Apart I cannot last
Being apart from something is causing distress again.
Last time I was shaken
Repeating a previous shaken experience.
Heart made out of glass
Reiteration of the fragile nature of the heart.
It was made for breaking
It seems designed to be broken again.
Heart made out of glass
Repetition of a plea to avoid causing harm.
Baby, please don't break it
Anticipation of being left in the past.
Left me in the past
Awareness of being broken by someone.
Knew that you would break me
Reiteration of the vulnerability of the heart.
Heart made out of glass
Closing with the fragility of the heart as a central theme.
