Lyrics
Put me on my death bed
Expressing a desire for relief or release from pain, possibly metaphorical.
I want this pain to end
Desire for an end to emotional pain or suffering.
But you're messing with my head
Feeling emotionally disturbed or confused by someone.
Why don't you understand
Expressing frustration at a lack of understanding from someone.
A hundred times I've said
Repeatedly expressing the desire for the person to leave and stop causing harm.
Go fuck up someone else's life instead
Suggesting that the person should disrupt someone else's life instead.
Can't listen to my favourite songs anymore
Loss of enjoyment in previously cherished activities due to the association with the person.
Cause they were the ones we listened to
Reflecting on shared experiences and memories with the person.
Staying up till 4am in the morning
Recalling late-night conversations and activities with the person.
Should've given me a warning
Expressing a desire for a warning about the negative impact of the relationship.
You haven't even let me breathe
Feeling suffocated or restricted in the relationship.
This is your deadline
Setting a metaphorical deadline for the person's actions or presence.
Though I know it hurts when you leave
Acknowledging the pain associated with the person leaving.
I'm sick of telling you I'm fine
Expressing frustration with repeatedly assuring the person of well-being.
You're the phantom
Describing the person as a haunting and negative presence.
You're the phantom
-That haunts my lonely mind
-Yeah you're the phantom
-Please get out of my fucking life
Strongly expressing the desire for the person to leave one's life.
Don't call me again
Firmly rejecting any further contact from the person and urging them to focus elsewhere.
Go call all your friends
-So you don't fuck with mine
-You're the phantom
Reiterating the need for the person to depart from one's life.
And I think it's
-Time you said goodbye
-You just can't let me be
Describing the person's disruptive and non-serious behavior.
You just don't let me sleep
-When you call me up crying like a fucking banshee
-When you don't take anything seriously
-You keep me thinking
Feeling overwhelmed with negative thoughts about the relationship.
This is gonna be the end of me
Expressing difficulty in moving on despite the end of the relationship.
Now I can't see clearly anymore
-Do you miss me or are you just bored
-Cause you keep coming back
-Turning up at my door
-Then you leave as soon as I tell you
-I adore you
-And now we're through
-But it's so fucking hard to ignore you
Continuing to struggle with the emotional impact of the person's presence.
You haven't even let me breathe
