You're all I hear; I'm all you see
The other person's presence is overwhelming; the speaker is all that person perceives.
The only name you'll ever speak
The speaker is the only name the other person acknowledges.
A constant war; you'd rather see me collapse than help me carry all the weight you love to force on my back
A metaphorical war where the other person prefers the speaker's collapse over offering assistance.
You watch me fall again, but I refuse to sit and watch that part of me just die, I deserve my fucking life
Despite falling, the speaker refuses to passively watch a part of themselves die and asserts their right to life.
You're running out of steam, but you're part of me
Recognition that the other person is weakening, but they are still connected to the speaker.
If you'd just let yourself see, there's nothing we can't be, but there's just no way to trust you, there's no way to save you, I won't play the victim just cause you
If the other person understands, there's potential for a positive connection, but trust is lacking.
Take everything to heart, take each word I say and tear it apart, analyze each breath I take, watch every move I make
