Lyrics
no i can't quite remember when i closed my eyes when did i stop running? when did i come to life?
No clear memory of when I closed my eyes, questioning when I stopped running and when I truly came to life.
i kept whatever i wanted
Keeping whatever I desired.
in the back of my mind
Storing things in the back of my mind.
you know we all get caught up let it burn inside
Acknowledging that everyone gets caught up and allowing internal struggles to persist.
i tried to surrender whatever i wanted i'm worried i gave you away
Attempting to surrender what I desired, worried that I may have given it away.
i cried in the middle of the night i let you steal my energy
Crying in the middle of the night, letting someone take away my energy.
then you go
Referring to the departure of someone.
so cold down the road
Describing the departure as cold, down the road.
and you still don't feel a thing
Noticing that the person leaving doesn't seem to feel any emotional impact.
i tried giving you time
Trying to give the person time.
i let you steal my energy then you go
Repeating the theme of letting someone take away my energy.
so cold down the road
Reiterating the cold departure down the road.
now i'm tearing at the seams
Expressing emotional distress and feeling torn apart.
no i can't quite remember how you changed my mind now that everything's over how could i be so blind?
No clear memory of how someone changed my mind, regret for not realizing sooner.
you took whatever you wanted you put a thorn in my side
Someone took whatever they wanted and caused pain.
you want to keep me bleeding 'til i close my eyes
Describing a desire to keep bleeding until closing one's eyes, metaphorically indicating enduring pain.
i cried in the middle of the night i let you steal my energy
Repeating the theme of crying in the night and having energy stolen.
then you go
Reiterating the cold departure.
so cold down the road
Emphasizing the emotional numbness of the departing person.
and you still don't feel a thing
Trying to give time, but feeling the energy drain.
i tried giving you time
Repeating the theme of giving time and energy being taken away.
i let you steal my energy then you go
Reiterating the cold departure down the road.
so cold down the road
Expressing the current state of feeling torn apart.
now i'm tearing at the seams
Continuing the theme of emotional distress and being torn apart.
you steal my energy away we were so close
Highlighting the act of someone taking away energy, emphasizing the closeness that once existed.
