Lyrics
How do you live in a glass house?
Living in a vulnerable situation, exposed to scrutiny
Mind is full of why's and how's, you can't stay
Mind filled with questions and uncertainties, unable to endure
Why are you always going away?
Questioning the constant departure of a significant other
Lips were dry, we had a fight
Reference to a past conflict where emotions were intense
I was wrong and you're always right, but I stayed
Admitting fault in an argument, acknowledging partner's perceived correctness
Why are you always going away?
Reiterating the theme of the partner frequently leaving
You promised not to break my heart
Recalling a promise made by the partner not to cause emotional pain
Gave you all the things that could make your heart to stay
Giving everything to make the relationship work, emphasizing material offerings
I know, I did my part
Expressing fulfillment of personal responsibilities in the relationship
But they always say that we're like a night and day
Highlighting the perception of differences between the couple
Why did you crash my car?
Questioning a destructive action by the partner, possibly symbolic
Everything's fucked, but I hope you're fine today
Acknowledging chaos but expressing concern for the partner's well-being
I know, I did my part
Repeating the fulfillment of personal responsibilities despite challenges
But baby, I was hurting
Acknowledging personal emotional pain despite efforts
You told me you could save me
Partner's assurance to provide support and salvation
Sadly, you don't care
Realization that the partner is indifferent or unconcerned
My baby
Expressing emotional connection to the partner
How do you live in a glass house?
Repetition of the metaphor of living in a vulnerable state
Mind is full of why's and how's, you can't stay
Reiteration of a mind filled with questions and uncertainties
Why are you always going away?
Continued lamentation about the partner's frequent departures
Lips were dry, we had a fight
Recollection of past conflict with dry lips, indicating emotional strain
I was wrong and you're always right, but I stayed
Admitting fault and staying despite differences
Why are you always going away?
Reiterating the emotional challenge of the partner always leaving
You promised not to break my heart
Recalling a promise not to cause emotional pain
Gave you all the things that could make your heart to stay
Emphasizing material offerings to make the partner stay
I know, I did my part
Confirmation of personal responsibility in the relationship
But they always say that we're like a night and day
Reference to perceived differences between the couple
Why did you crash my car?
Questioning a destructive action with acknowledgment of chaos
Everything's fucked, but I hope you're fine today
Expressing hope for the partner's well-being despite challenges
I know, I did my part
Reiterating personal responsibility despite emotional pain
But baby, I was hurting
Acknowledging personal emotional pain despite efforts
You told me you could save me
Partner's assurance to provide support and salvation
Sadly, you don't care
Realization that the partner is indifferent or unconcerned
My baby
Reiteration of emotional connection to the partner
You showed me what I hate
Learning about each other's dislikes
I've showed you what you love
Mutual understanding of each other's preferences
You promised not to break my heart
Recalling a promise not to cause emotional pain (repeated theme)
You lied to me, I love you too
Discovering a lie in the relationship, but expressing love despite it
So much
Expressing intense love despite feeling foolish
God, I'm such a fool
Acknowledging personal foolishness in believing the partner's words
For believing what you told me, baby
Reiteration of discovering a lie but still expressing love
You lied to me, I love you too
Expressing intense love despite feeling foolish (repeated theme)
So much
Final expression of intense love despite challenges
