Lyrics
How many times have I said it before
Expressing frustration or repetition of a message previously communicated.
You can't keep coming back once you walk out that door
Highlighting the consequences of leaving, emphasizing difficulty in returning.
I don't know why I take it time and again
Questioning the reasons for enduring repeated difficulties in the relationship.
You're like a building on fire
Using metaphor to describe intense emotions or a destructive situation.
Rockets in the sky
Symbolizing passion or conflict with powerful imagery of rockets in the sky.
The heat of the city that's burning in my eyes
Describing the intense, overwhelming experience of being in a city on fire.
I never should have fell for you
Regretting a past decision to become involved with the person.
Let you do me like you do
Expressing dissatisfaction with how the other person treats the speaker.
And I can't, I can't get a fix on you
Conveying the inability to understand or connect with the other person.
How can you tell me in the dark of despair
Questioning the sincerity of the other person's declarations of love.
That I'm the only one who ever really cared
Feeling doubtful about being truly cared for in moments of despair.
How many times have you said it to the others
Suggesting a pattern of insincere declarations of love to different people.
Things being said, talk going down
Referring to rumors and gossip surrounding the relationship.
There's been rumors in the alley and they're gettin' uptown
Indicating that negative information is spreading and gaining prominence.
I never shoulda listened to you
Expressing regret for trusting the other person's words.
Every lie you tell's like the truth
Describing the impact of lies, equating them to the truth.
And I can't, I can't get a fix on you
Reiterating the difficulty in understanding or connecting with the other person.
Every time I get the courage to kiss it all goodbye
Expressing a recurring struggle to end the relationship.
I start thinkin' 'bout the moments you keep creepin' in my life
Reflecting on moments shared with the other person, making it challenging to move on.
Every time I tell you this will be the last time
Acknowledging the difficulty in breaking free from the relationship.
The building catches fire
Using metaphorical language to depict the destructive nature of the relationship.
The rockets in the sky
Recalling intense emotions or conflicts associated with the other person.
The heat of the city starts burning in my eyes
Repeating the imagery of a city on fire, emphasizing the emotional intensity.
I never shoulda fell for you
Expressing regret for falling for the other person.
Let you do me like you do

And I can't, I can't get a fix on you
