Lyrics

Free of your old ways

Seeking liberation from past habits or behaviors.

I'm seeing something strange

Observing something unusual or unexpected.

An awkward laugh, a change in her pace

Noticing changes in someone's demeanor, expressed through laughter and pace.

I usually play the long game

Typically adopting a patient approach in relationships.

It always ends the same

Relationships consistently concluding in a similar manner.

A series of lies I brushed aside for it to fall anyway

Ignoring a series of lies only for the relationship to collapse.

I can't see why I'm not on your mind

Expressing confusion about not being in the other person's thoughts.

I can't see why I'm not by your side

Expressing confusion about not being by the other person's side.

Oh any longer

Questioning the duration of the current emotional distance.

If I lose it all, who can I blame?

Contemplating responsibility if everything is lost.

How deep is your water?

Asking about the depth of emotional connection.

Is this a game?

Questioning if the relationship is just a game.

Let's get it straight for starters

Suggesting a need for clarity and honesty from the beginning.

Your love is a drug in every way

Describing the intensity of love as a powerful drug.

But you hit me harder

Acknowledging the profound impact of the other person's actions.

Am I insane?

Questioning one's sanity in the face of intense emotions.

Hit me again

Requesting or accepting another emotional blow.

I know I've only got one try

Acknowledging limited chances or opportunities.

Hide the usual ways, remove my disguise

Suggesting a departure from usual patterns and revealing true self.

Won't take my time to realise

Expressing a quick realization of the situation.

That your smile steals my eyes

Highlighting the captivating effect of the other person's smile.

I can't see why I'm not on your mind

Reiterating confusion about not being in the other person's thoughts.

I can't see why I'm not by your side

Reiterating confusion about not being by the other person's side.

Oh any longer

Reiterating the duration of emotional distance.

If I lose it all, who can I blame?

Contemplating responsibility if everything is lost, echoed from line 10.

How deep is your water?

Repeating the question about the depth of emotional connection.

Is this a game?

Repeating the question if the relationship is a game.

Let's get it straight for starters

Reiterating the need for clarity and honesty from the beginning.

Your love is a drug in every way

Repeating the description of love as a powerful drug.

But you hit me harder

Reiterating the impact of the other person's actions.

Am I insane?

Questioning one's sanity again.

Hit me again

Requesting or accepting another emotional blow again.

I can't see why I'm not on your mind

Reiterating confusion about not being in the other person's thoughts again.

I can't see why I'm not by your side

Reiterating confusion about not being by the other person's side again.

I can't see why I'm not on your mind

Repeating confusion about not being in the other person's thoughts again.

I can't see why I'm not by your side

Repeating confusion about not being by the other person's side again.

Oh any longer

Reiterating the duration of emotional distance again.

If I lose it all, who can I blame?

Contemplating responsibility if everything is lost again.

How deep is your water?

Repeating the question about the depth of emotional connection again.

Is this a game?

Repeating the question if the relationship is a game again.

Let's get it straight for starters

Reiterating the need for clarity and honesty from the beginning again.

Your love is a drug in every way

Repeating the description of love as a powerful drug again.

But you hit me harder

Reiterating the impact of the other person's actions again.

Am I insane?

Questioning one's sanity for the final time.

Hit me again

Concluding with a request or acceptance of another emotional blow for the final time.
