Lyrics
I don't want you to leave
I don't want the person to leave.
I'll lock you in a cage
Expressing a desire to control or confine the person metaphorically.
Keep you as a friend
Desire to maintain a friendship despite the negative emotions.
And in the end you're nothing more
Suggesting disappointment or realization that the person is not significant in the end.
Opened up my door to you just
Opened up emotionally to the person, only to be rejected.
To slam it in my face
Feeling hurt by the person's rejection or betrayal.
This happens every time I think
Struggling to find the right words in relationships.
Of words to say
Reflecting on difficulties expressing oneself.
So good at taking things away so this is it
Feeling that the person takes away positive aspects from life.
The door will not open again
Deciding to close the emotional door to the person.
I lost the key way back when
Metaphorically losing the ability to open up emotionally.
This time I thought things might
Expecting a different outcome in the relationship this time.
Go just a little different
Expressing hope for a positive change in the relationship dynamics.
Now I know that wasn't
Realizing that the hope was misplaced.
Exactly your intention why must you
Questioning the person's true intentions.
On this place that we built, oh
Reflecting on the shared experiences and memories.
Cause it's not all my fault
Emphasizing that not everything is the speaker's fault.
Some things look better in pieces
Suggesting that some situations are better when broken or separated.
And you need to stop running
Advising the person to confront and deal with their problems.
From your problems everyday
Encouraging personal growth and facing challenges.
I do that as well i don't want you to know
Admitting to personal struggles with openness.
A single thing about me
Desiring to keep personal information private.
But I might just need your help
Expressing a potential need for support despite the reluctance.
If I reach out now will I fall back
Concerns about the consequences of reaching out for help.
Down to the place that I once was
Fear of returning to a difficult or painful place emotionally.
The future is scary, I want to ignore it
Avoidance of thinking about and dealing with the future.
I wish you weren't this way
Expressing disappointment with the person's behavior.
This time I thought things might
Reiteration of hope for a positive change in the relationship.
Go just a little different
Desiring a different outcome in the relationship.
Now I know that wasn't
Realization that the hope was unfounded.
Exactly your intention why must you
Questioning the person's true intentions again.
On this place that we built, oh
Reflecting on the shared experiences and memories once more.
Cause it's not all my fault
Emphasizing that not everything is the speaker's fault.
Some things look better in pieces
Reiteration that some situations are better when broken or separated.
This time I thought things might
Continued hope for a positive change in the relationship.
Go just a little different
Continued desire for a different and better outcome.
Now I know that wasn't
Acknowledgment that the hope was misplaced.
Exactly your intention why must you
Questioning the person's true intentions once again.
On this place that we built, oh
Reflecting on the shared experiences and memories for the final time.
Cause it's not all my fault
Emphasizing that not everything is the speaker's fault for the last time.
Some things look better in pieces
Final statement that some situations are better when broken or separated.
