Lyrics
The weight in my chest
The burden or heaviness in my heart
Some days feels less
Some days, this burden feels lighter
Than it does right now
Currently, the weight is particularly intense
As you enter my head
As thoughts of you occupy my mind
Sadly beautiful
Describing something that is both sorrowful and attractive
Like broken glass
Comparing the emotional state to broken glass
Once elegant whole
Previously complete and refined, now in a state of disarray
Now fractured mess
Representing the current state as a shattered mess
The way that I feel about you won't change
Expressing a constant, unchanging feeling towards the subject
I carry you with me every day
Carrying the emotional weight of the person every day
I wish you'd help
Expressing a desire for the person to improve their own situation
Yourself out
Encouraging self-help for the speaker's peace of mind
So I could sleep
Seeking tranquility in sleep if the person improves
Safe and sound
Desiring a secure and peaceful state of mind
But you stay on the floor
Metaphorically describing the person as broken and abandoned
In pieces scattered
Fragmented and scattered, depicting emotional disarray
Each of which
Each fragment reflects the speaker's sadness
Reflects my sadness
The way that I feel about you won't change
Reiteration of the enduring and unchanging emotion
I carry you with me every day
Continuing to carry the emotional weight every day
And somehow I'll have to let you go
Acknowledging the necessity of letting go while preserving love
Without giving up my love
Resolving to release without abandoning love
