Lyrics
Once upon a time, it felt right
Reflecting on a past time when things felt right.
Once again it breaks in front of me
Expressing a recurring heartbreak happening in front of the speaker.
Something should've told me it don't feel right
Realization that something should have indicated the wrongness of the situation.
Separating from the things that I believe
Feeling the need to separate from beliefs and values.
Clock keeps ticking and I'm building it up
Time passing, pressure building up.
I can't think – should I give it up?
Uncertainty about whether to persevere or give up.
I can scream but is that enough?
Questioning if expressing emotions verbally is sufficient.
Heart shaped knives, they're cutting me up
Imagery of emotional pain represented by heart-shaped knives.
I'm not in and the door is shut
Feeling excluded, facing a closed door.
I can shout but it's that enough?
Doubting if shouting and expressing oneself is effective.
Don't you doubt my love 'cause it lasts 'til infinity
Asserting the enduring nature of the speaker's love.
I will ache and choke as long as you remember me
Willingness to endure pain and suffering as long as remembered.
Don't you spill that wine, you know I value honesty
Emphasizing the importance of honesty in the relationship.
Until the next so-long, I hope that you remember me
Expressing hope for lasting memories despite an impending farewell.
And just forget, everything I regret it,
Encouraging forgetting past regrets, emphasizing the time elapsed.
It's been so long, so long
Acknowledging the prolonged duration of emotional pain.
I don't feel this, I'm not in this anymore.
Declaring a detachment from the emotions and situation.
Don't you doubt my love 'cause it lasts 'til infinity
Reiterating the enduring nature of the speaker's love.
I will ache and choke as long as you remember me
Expressing willingness to endure suffering as long as remembered.
Don't you spill that wine, you know I value honesty
Stressing the value of honesty in the relationship.
Until the next so-long, I hope that you remember me
Expressing hope for lasting memories despite an impending farewell.
Clock keeps ticking and I'm building it up
Repetition of the theme of time passing and pressure building.
I can't think – should I give it up?
Reiteration of uncertainty about whether to persevere or give up.
I can scream but is that enough?
Questioning the effectiveness of expressing emotions verbally.
Heart shaped knives, they're cutting me up
Imagery of emotional pain represented by heart-shaped knives.
I'm not in and the door is shut
Feeling excluded, facing a closed door.
I can shout but it's that enough?
Doubting if shouting and expressing oneself is effective.
Don't you doubt my love 'cause it lasts 'til infinity
Asserting the enduring nature of the speaker's love.
I will ache and choke as long as you remember me
Willingness to endure pain and suffering as long as remembered.
Don't you spill that wine, you know I value honesty
Emphasizing the importance of honesty in the relationship.
Until the next so-long, I hope that you remember me
Expressing hope for lasting memories despite an impending farewell.
