Lyrics
I guess we're tired of these complications
The speaker expresses weariness with complications in their relationship.
Running circles in my mind I've tried to let you in
The speaker describes a mental struggle to open up and include the other person.
Can't find a way to make it right
Unable to find a solution to the problems, creating a sense of discord.
Feeling lost in all the space between us
Feeling disoriented and distant within the vast emotional space between them.
It's always your word against mine I've tried to make you see
Constant disagreement, with the speaker attempting to make their perspective understood.
And every now and then we feel a little closer then my heart gets colder
Intermittent moments of closeness followed by emotional detachment, leading to a colder heart.
And I don't want to be the one to bring you down again
The speaker wishes to avoid being the cause of the other person's emotional downturn.
Lights go out I swore we never knew

All this time been scared of letting go
Throughout the relationship, fear has prevented the speaker from letting go.
Warning signs and now we've broken everything we know everything we know

Holding tight and now we're losing everything we know everything we know

Everything we know
Reiteration of losing everything they thought they knew about the relationship.
Tried not to lose myself and find that feeling
An attempt to avoid losing one's identity amid relationship challenges.
Remember when we met you said that we would have it all
Recollection of a promise that they would achieve greatness together.
And now we're lost in the regrets
Current state of being engulfed in remorse and missed opportunities.
Tired of running from the sinking feeling
Expressing fatigue from evading negative emotions associated with the relationship.
When all is said and done then why are we still holding on
Despite everything, questioning why they still cling to the relationship.
And every now and then we feel a little closer then my heart gets colder
