Lyrics
Another night in my bed alone

Mines the only body its ever known

She lost her shape, she lost her form
Describes a loss of physical shape and form, potentially metaphorical for feeling disconnected or disoriented.
But at night she still keeps me warm
Despite the loss of shape/form, the presence in bed still provides warmth at night.
So to that’s alright
Acceptance of the situation, finding contentment in the warmth provided.
So if some days I don't want to talk
On some days, the singer prefers not to engage or communicate, influenced by their bipolar condition.
My bipolar mind controls the lock

Keeps my thoughts running in circles

Another days another hurdle

But I’ll be alright

I'm just trying to make them proud
