Fingerprints
Fingerprints of Love Lost: Unveiling the Echoes of Heartache
Lyrics
I'm not brave, not even a little bit
I lack courage, not even a small amount
It isn't easier to love me as we go
Loving me doesn't become easier as time passes
Covered in shame
Feeling disgraceful or guilty
Cause I let you fall from grace
Regret for allowing someone to lose favor or approval
You're not the first
Addressing that the listener is not the first or last to reject the singer emotionally
You're not the last to leave me cold
Reiterating the theme of being emotionally abandoned by others
Can't get it back, get it back, get it back
Unable to regain something that was given away
Once you give it away
Expressing the irreversible nature of giving something away
Just getting mad, getting mad, going mad
Escalating emotions, possibly anger or frustration
Couldn't keep you safe
Failed to keep someone safe, indicating a sense of responsibility
Still see your fingerprints on my window
The lingering impact of the person is still noticeable in the singer's life
Nothing gold can stay
Referencing the transient nature of precious things
This scar is permanent, like a halo
Comparing a scar to a halo, suggesting a lasting mark or impact
Every night I pray
Expressing a nightly ritual of hoping or seeking solace
You touch my soul
Highlighting a profound connection with the person
Had this dream, you wearing my overcoat
Describing a dream scenario involving the person
You were looking up at me from down below
Depicting a perspective where the person is below and the singer is above
Can't get you out of my heart
Unable to remove the person from the singer's emotions
Can't love and not leave a mark
Love leaves a lasting impact or memory
We fall off every ledge together
Shared experiences, possibly difficult ones, that strengthen the connection
Say the story ends whenever you leave
Indicating that the story or relationship concludes when the person leaves
Still see your fingerprints on my window
Reiterating the lasting impact of the person on the singer's life
Nothing gold can stay
Emphasizing the impermanence of precious things
This scar is permanent, like a halo
Comparing a scar to a halo, reinforcing the enduring nature of the impact
Every night I pray
Continuation of the nightly ritual, seeking spiritual or emotional connection
You touch my soul
Acknowledging the deep impact the person had on the singer's inner self
I pray you touch my soul
An earnest hope for the person to touch the singer's soul
