Lyrics

It's the pretty little heavy to hold your head

Referring to the emotional weight that is difficult to bear or understand

It's like the sanity is hanging on a thread

Suggesting that mental stability is fragile and hanging by a thin thread

The flesh is cold and needs your nails

Describing a physical sensation, possibly indicating discomfort or distress

And the look you give, it never fails

Highlighting a consistent expression or gesture that is impactful


I love the way you hurt me

Expressing a paradoxical enjoyment of emotional pain inflicted by someone

I love that you don't care

Appreciating indifference or lack of concern from the person causing emotional pain

My love is dark and twisted

Describing the nature of love as being mysterious, shadowy, and complex

And I scream when you're not there

Expressing the emotional response of screaming when the person is absent


It's the interesting way, it fills my brain

Describing a unique and intriguing impact on the speaker's thoughts

It's been done by others but never the same

Emphasizing the exclusivity of the experience compared to others

I love it when you're heavy and crack a smile

Expressing affection for the intensity of the person's demeanor, including smiling

The best is when you make it last a while

Appreciating the duration and lasting effect of the emotional experience


I love the way you hurt me

Reiterating the paradoxical enjoyment of emotional pain

I love that you don't care

Reiterating the appreciation for the person's indifference or lack of concern

My love is dark and twisted

Reiterating the complex and shadowy nature of love

And I scream when you're not there

Reiterating the emotional response of screaming in the person's absence


Can't seem to get away

Expressing difficulty in escaping from a haunting presence or memory

This ghost I'll never find

Suggesting the elusive and intangible nature of the haunting experience

It haunts me 'til this day

Describing the persistent and enduring impact of the haunting experience

I can't get back my mind

Expressing the inability to regain control or clarity of thought


I love the way you hurt me

Reiterating the paradoxical enjoyment of emotional pain

I love that you don't care

Reiterating the appreciation for the person's indifference or lack of concern

My love is dark and twisted

Reiterating the complex and shadowy nature of love

And I scream when you're not there

Reiterating the emotional response of screaming in the person's absence
