Lyrics
Don’t leave the lights on
Desire for darkness or secrecy, not wanting to be seen or found.
Don’t wait up for me
Asking not to be waited for, indicating absence or departure.
It’s getting hard to pretend that
Difficulty in maintaining a facade of normalcy or okayness.
Everything is alright
Acknowledgment that things are not fine despite attempts to portray them as such.
Now I don’t like the person I become
Dislike for the self that emerges in the presence of the other person.
When I spend anytime with you
Feeling negatively changed when spending time with the person.
My morals break down down down
Sense of moral breakdown or ethical compromise.
And I think that it’s alright
Acceptance or justification of the compromised morals.
I can’t love somebody
Inability to emotionally invest in another person.
You won’t love someone like me
Doubt that the other person can reciprocate love due to self-perceived flaws.
How many times do we go through this
Repeated cycles or patterns in the relationship causing distress.
We both know it’s time for me to go
Acknowledgment of the necessity to leave or end the relationship.
Listen to your heart
Encouragement to follow emotional instincts rather than logical reasoning.
Cause your mind is a battleground
Comparison of the mind to a battlefield, suggesting internal conflict or struggle.
Everything is left in ruins
Result of chaos or destruction in the wake of the relationship.
And yet you’re still alive
Survival despite emotional turmoil or devastation.
How did we get like this
Pondering the deterioration of the relationship from a previously stable state.
Everything seemed fine
Contrasting the current chaos with a past sense of normalcy.
Now we’ve fallen off a cliff and we can’t go back
Irreversible descent into a troubled state in the relationship.
And everything is not alright
Admission that the situation is far from being okay.
I can’t love somebody
Reiteration of emotional unavailability due to self-perception.
You won’t love someone like me
Doubt about being loved by the other person because of perceived inadequacies.
How many times do we go through this
Highlighting the repetitive nature of distressing relationship patterns.
We both know it’s time for me to go
Recognition of the necessity to end the relationship, indicating closure.
We bring out the worst in both of us
Indicating that the relationship exacerbates negative traits in both individuals.
Maybe it’s time we stop fooling each other
Suggestion to stop deceiving each other and face the reality of the situation.
We go around and around
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of unresolved issues in the relationship.
Ya we go around and around
Reiteration of the cyclical pattern within the relationship.
I can’t love somebody
Reiteration of emotional unavailability due to self-perception.
You won’t love someone like me
Doubt about being loved by the other person because of perceived inadequacies.
How many times do we go through this
Highlighting the repetitive nature of distressing relationship patterns.
We both know it’s time for me to go
Recognition of the necessity to end the relationship, indicating closure.
I can’t love somebody
Reiteration of emotional unavailability due to self-perception.
You won’t love someone like me
Doubt about being loved by the other person because of perceived inadequacies.
How many times do we go through this
Highlighting the repetitive nature of distressing relationship patterns.
We both know it’s time for me to go
Recognition of the necessity to end the relationship, indicating closure.
