Lyrics
Don't be that way
Expressing a desire not to be a certain way or exhibit certain behaviors.
Fall apart twice a day
Feeling emotionally vulnerable and breaking down frequently.
I just wish you could feel what you say
Wishing for genuine emotions and sincerity in words spoken.
Show, never tell
Emphasizing the importance of actions over words.
But I know you too well
Having a deep understanding of someone's personality or character.
Kind of mood that you wish you could sell
Describing a mood or emotional state that one would prefer to conceal or sell.
If teardrops could be bottled
Imagining the volume of tears as if they could be collected.
There'd be swimming pools filled by models
Visualizing a scenario where attractive people contribute to filling swimming pools with tears.
Told a tight dress is what makes you a whore
Commenting on societal judgments related to clothing choices and promiscuity.
If ""I love you"" was a promise
Raising a hypothetical question about the sincerity of love promises.
Would you break it, if you're honest
Asking if one would break a promise if being honest about it.
Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before
Addressing self-reflection and repetition of known truths when facing oneself in the mirror.
I don't wanna be you anymore
Expressing a strong desire not to embody or resemble the person being addressed.
Hands, hands getting cold
Noticing physical sensations, possibly linked to emotional distress.
Losing feeling's getting old
Expressing weariness with losing the ability to feel emotions.
Was I made from a broken mold?
Questioning one's origins and whether they were formed from a flawed or damaged template.
Hurt, I can't shake
Feeling emotional pain that is difficult to overcome or shake off.
We've made every mistake
Acknowledging past mistakes and errors in judgment.
Only you know the way that I break
Recognizing that only a specific person truly understands the way the speaker breaks emotionally.
If teardrops could be bottled
Repeating the imagery of tears being collected as if they were a tangible substance.
There'd be swimming pools filled by models
Continuing the visualization of attractive people contributing to pools filled with tears.
Told a tight dress is what makes you a whore
Reiterating societal judgments related to clothing choices and promiscuity.
If ""I love you"" was a promise
Rephrasing the earlier question about the sincerity of love promises.
Would you break it, if you're honest
Asking if one would break a promise when being truthful about it.
Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before
Repeated self-reflection and acknowledgment of hearing known truths when facing oneself in the mirror.
I don't wanna be you
Reiteration of the strong desire not to embody or resemble the person being addressed.
I don't wanna be you
Repetition of the strong desire not to embody or resemble the person being addressed.
I don't wanna be you... anymore
Finalizing the declaration of not wanting to be like the person being addressed anymore.
