Lyrics
Started off with x and o’s
Initial connection or interaction represented by affectionate symbols (x and o’s).
Oh I thought she liked me
Initial perception that she had an interest in the speaker.
How it all turned out I oath
The outcome of the situation is unsurprising to the speaker.
That is does not shock me
The lack of surprise at the outcome.
End it all without a chance
Terminating a relationship without providing an opportunity.
Never knew what could’ve been
Not knowing the potential of what could have developed.
Play it safe or take the risk
The dilemma of choosing between playing it safe or taking a risk.
I’m just another on her list
Feeling like just another person on her list of acquaintances/relationships.
Leave me till I’m rotten cold
Asking to be left alone until feeling completely neglected.
Just like everything you touch
Comparing oneself to things she touches, implying a negative influence.
Pulling strings but play the bait
Controlling certain aspects but still being lured or manipulated.
Knowing I’m your puppet
Awareness of being controlled or influenced by her.
I’d do just about anything
Willingness to do nearly anything to be kept close by her.
To fit in your pocket
Metaphorically wanting to be kept close, almost like being carried in her pocket.
I’d change myself and everything
Willingness to change oneself entirely for her affection.
Just so you could love me
Desiring her love to the extent of changing oneself.

End it all without a chance

Reiterating not knowing the potential of what could have developed.
Play it safe or take the risk
Reiterating the dilemma of choosing between playing it safe or taking a risk.
I’m just another on her list
Reiteration of feeling like just another person on her list.
Leave me till I’m rotten cold

Just so you could love me
Repeated emphasis on the desire to be loved by her at any cost.
Just so, just so you could love me
-Just so you could love me
-Just so you could love
-Just so, just so you could love me
-Just so you could love me
-Just so you could love
-Just so, just so you could love me
-Just so you could love me
-Just so you could love
-Just so, just so you could love me
