Lyrics
Another sleepless night by my bed
Expressing a restless night near the bed
I'm going crazy
Feeling mentally distressed or overwhelmed
I am aware that I must have been
Acknowledging a recent state of emotional absence
Quite absent lately
Recognizing a lack of presence in recent times
I'm out of touch
Feeling disconnected or out of sync
And you've seen too much
Noticing that others have witnessed significant aspects of one's life
I'm going numb
Experiencing emotional numbness
Going numb
-If I opened up
Contemplating the idea of opening up emotionally
Would you still be there?
Questioning if support will still be present after revealing oneself
The weight of this is too much to bear
Expressing the overwhelming burden of emotions
I'm scared to death
Feeling intense fear or anxiety
You don't have a clue
Noticing a lack of understanding from the other person
The walls I build keep on tumbling down
Metaphorically describing the emotional barriers breaking down
Around you
-Tumbling down around you
-I fear that now it might be too late
Expressing concern that it might be too late to address something
I should have told you
Regretting not communicating something earlier
Maybe one day if both of us wait
Hope for a fresh start if both individuals wait
We'll start anew
-If I opened up
Revisiting the idea of opening up emotionally
Would you still be there?
Questioning the continuity of support after opening up
The weight of this is too much to bear
Expressing the overwhelming weight of emotions
I'm scared to death
Feeling extreme fear or anxiety
You don't have a clue
Noting a lack of understanding from the other person
The walls I build keep on tumbling down
Continuing the metaphor of emotional barriers breaking down
Around you
-Tumbling down around you
-Tumbling down around you
Emphasizing the continued collapse of emotional walls
They tumble down around you
-You
Directing the message to the other person
I'm out of touch
Reiterating a sense of disconnection
You've seen too much
Noting that others have witnessed significant aspects of one's life
Out of touch
Further expressing emotional detachment and feelings
How I feel
-As I tumble down around you
Repeating the imagery of tumbling down as a metaphor for emotional breakdown
I'm out of touch
-You've seen too much
-I'm tumbling down around you
-I break apart
-Right from the start
-I'm tumbling down around you
-They tumble down around you
-I'm out of touch
-You've seen too much
-Tumbling down around
Concluding the repeated imagery of emotional collapse
