Lyrics
Who's that ghost in the mirror?
Reflecting on an unknown presence or personal struggle symbolized as a ghost seen in the mirror.
Cause I was alive before I knew ya
Expressing existence and vitality before encountering someone.
Didn't wanna die young
Desiring to avoid an early death.
I didn't wanna die young
Reiterating the reluctance to die young.
Why you? I can only wonder
Questioning the reasons behind the person's departure and expressing curiosity.
Why you left me twenty feet under
Feeling abandoned and emphasizing the depth of emotional pain.
Didn't wanna die young
Repeating the desire to avoid premature death.
I didn't wanna die young
Reiterating the unwillingness to die young.
A-oh
An exclamation, possibly expressing surprise or realization.
You let me fade away
Feeling abandoned and gradually fading away, possibly emotionally.
I let you get away
Acknowledging one's role in allowing the other person to escape or leave.
A-oh
A continuation of the fading away theme, expressing a sense of loss.
You let me fade away
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the fading away and loss.
I feel the knife going deeper
Feeling the emotional pain intensify, possibly through betrayal.
I really thought you were a keeper
Expressing disappointment as the person was believed to be a long-term partner.
I let you get away with murder
Admitting to allowing the other person to escape the consequences of their actions.
I let you get away with murder
Reiterating the responsibility for letting the other person evade accountability.
I let your knife go in further
Accepting further harm and manipulation, allowing the relationship to deteriorate.
I let you twist and push harder
Allowing the person to inflict more pain and difficulty in the relationship.
I let you get away with murder
Repeating the acknowledgment of letting the other person escape consequences.
I let you get away with...
Continuing to emphasize the responsibility for allowing the other person to escape accountability.
