Lyrics
Remember when you promised that you
Recalling a promise made by someone
Would never leave me?
Emphasizing the promise of never being abandoned
That your heart would never
Assurance that their heart will always provide light
Stop shining the light
The light symbolizes comfort and warmth
That kept me warm during the winter
Highlighting the comforting light during winter
And whole when it was summer
The light makes them feel whole in summer
And holds me like no other light before
Expressing a unique and deep connection
Like the petals of a flower
Comparing love to the petals of a flower
Taking chance in it's abundance
Encouraging taking chances in love
Take for granted what they gave you every day
Warning against taking love for granted
But when autumn takes them back
Metaphor for the end of a relationship
I don't know who to ask
Feeling lost and unsure after a breakup
I haven't left the house in ages
Isolation and reluctance to leave the house
I'm so scared that I am dying
Expressing fear of mortality
Pray to God that I'm not
Praying for survival and not dying
Ready, slow my heart, and keep on trying
Readiness to slow down and persevere
To tidy up the mess that I've
Acknowledging a mess in one's life
Been making most of my life
Reflecting on a history of mistakes
And continue making music that I
Commitment to continue making music
Know you only like
Awareness that the music is only appreciated by the listener in specific situations
Listening to when you're in my shoes
Understanding only appreciated when others experience similar situations
Remember when you promised that
Recollection of another promise about a specific event
This would never happen?
Expressing disappointment at the broken promise
It said so in the letter that you wrote
Referring to a written confirmation of the promise
Now I'm so cold during the winter
Feeling emotionally cold during difficult times
I want to die when it's summer
Expressing extreme emotional distress in summer
I hope you die when another has your heart
Negative wishes for the person who caused pain
And smashes it into irreparable pieces
Describing emotional pain and damage
And leaves them on a cold, tile floor
Imagery of shattered pieces left on the floor
Projected to the open where your
Highlighting the public display of emotional damage
Mother can clearly see them
Reference to the mother witnessing the aftermath
As she steps over the mess that you once were
Describing the aftermath as a mess to be stepped over
So they'll be forced to lie
Forced deception about one's own state
Right there next to mine
Sharing the pain and lies with the other person
