Lyrics
How long does it take for you to go to bed
Questioning how long it takes for the listener to go to bed.
I'm up all night swaying conjuring thoughts inside my head
Being awake all night, lost in thoughts and emotions.
Instead of sleep tonight
Choosing to stay awake instead of sleeping.
I'd rather just lie down and die, yeah
Expressing a preference for emotional pain over rest.
And now you're speaking in a different tone
Noticing a change in the person's demeanor.
Yeah I can tell by the way that you pick up the phone
Recognizing the change through their actions.
Maybe I shouldn't call
Considering whether it's best not to communicate.
Maybe I shouldn't be here at all, yeah
Contemplating leaving the situation entirely.
Cus you tell little lies and then they tear me apart
Feeling hurt by small lies causing significant pain.
Wait till the morning for your head to restart
Acknowledging the need for time to process and heal.
And I've come to terms and guess that I am nothing now
Accepting a diminished sense of self-worth.
But only your second best, good as broken glass and I'm
Feeling undervalued and fragile, akin to broken glass.
I'm up all night
Staying awake due to fear caused by the situation.
Because you're giving me such a fright
Being frightened by the actions or words of the other person.
No, don't go
Pleading for the person not to leave.
I can't leave here on my own
Feeling unable to leave the current situation alone.
Well we could paint a perfect picture
Hoping for a beautiful relationship despite doubts.
But I know that you'd just throw it away
Knowing the person might not value the relationship.
Oh and I'd try to tell you not to but
Attempting to advise against destructive actions.
I know that you just don't like to change
Acknowledging the person's resistance to change.
And now you've got nothing to say to me
Experiencing silence and lack of communication.
So I guess I'll just turn my back pack up my bags and leave
Deciding to leave due to the absence of conversation.
I'm just a single leaf floating down stream away from you
Feeling detached and moving away like a leaf in a stream.
Trying to get away from the branch that I was so
Trying to distance from a once close connection.
Attached to but I'm not anymore
No longer feeling attached to the relationship.
Well we could paint a perfect picture
Repeating the desire for a perfect relationship despite doubts.
But I know that you'd just throw it away
Acknowledging the likelihood of the relationship's destruction.
Oh and I'd try to tell you not to but
Reiterating an attempt to persuade against destructive actions.
I know that you just don't like to change
Reinforcing the resistance to change in the person.
I know this ain't like me but I am full of regret
Expressing regret and engaging in self-destructive behavior.
So I'm smoking till the filter end on my cigarette
Using smoking as a coping mechanism for emotional pain.
When you said you hate my family I wanted to die
Feeling deeply hurt by negative comments about family.
So far that my broken angel well I want you
Wishing for distance from the pain caused by the person.
I want you, I want you, I want you to cry
Desiring to evoke emotional response or remorse from the person.
