Lyrics
watch you fall asleep
Expressing the act of observing someone falling asleep.
laying next to me
Describing the physical proximity of the speaker to the person sleeping.
something in the way that you can breathe so easily
Highlighting the ease with which the person breathes, creating a calm atmosphere.
took me like a drug
Comparing the impact of the person on the speaker to that of a drug.
until you got enough
Continuing the metaphor of the person's effect on the speaker, suggesting insatiable desire.
blinded by the way you brought me in and pulled me up
Expressing being captivated and uplifted by the person's influence.
wish i knew the truth
Expressing a desire for truth in the relationship.
wish i knew the way
Expressing uncertainty about finding a way out of a difficult situation.
out from under water I don't think i can be saved
Feeling overwhelmed, possibly drowning metaphorically, and unsure if recovery is possible.
love was only lust
Reflecting on past emotions, suggesting that what seemed like love was only lust.
white lies turn to dust
Acknowledging that deception and falsehoods have crumbled away.
am i the only one?
Pondering if the speaker is the only one in a particular situation or emotion.
am i the only one who's dying inside
Reiterating the feeling of inner turmoil and decay.
i watched you come alive and now i know
Witnessing a transformation in the person, realizing the truth about them.
that i'm the only one who's trying to fight
Being the sole individual trying to salvage a seemingly impossible love.
for a love that always was impossible
Expressing the difficulty of fighting for a love that was always deemed unattainable.
for a love that always was impossible
Reiterating the impossibility of the love being pursued.
and i'm not the only one responsible
Emphasizing that responsibility for the situation is not exclusive to the speaker.
i leave myself wide open and you would never show me
Leaving oneself emotionally vulnerable without reciprocation.
i bleed myself dry even if you'll never hold me
Sacrificing emotionally, even without the assurance of the person reciprocating.
am i the only one who's dying inside
Reiterating the internal suffering and emotional turmoil.
i watched you come alive and now i know
Witnessing a change in the person's demeanor, reinforcing realization.
that i'm the only one who's trying to fight
Being the only one making an effort to salvage a seemingly impossible love.
for a love that always was impossible
Expressing the ongoing struggle for a love deemed unattainable.
for a love that always was impossible
Reiterating the perpetual impossibility of the pursued love.
but i'm not the only one responsible
Acknowledging that responsibility for the situation is not solely on the speaker.
