Cuz I gotta find a way to be without you now

I know it'll work

But now I'm over that

Baby it's hard when I trust no more

Shutting you out, and I don't use force

It really hurt when you used those words

Cuts like a knife, and it leaves a scar

Tearing me down just to feel something
Feeling emotionally broken down just to experience something, perhaps to feel alive.
Knowing you're numb, but you feel my skin

Wish we could leave this in the past

But scars are forever, no they'll last
Recognizing that emotional scars endure and don't fade easily.
You could tell it hurts by the sound of my voice
Indicating the speaker's emotional pain through the tone of their voice.
I just watch the rain fall, then I rejoice

Gotta re-up just to feeling something
Describing the need to replenish emotions by seeking external stimuli.
Lately I been down and I feeling nothing
Expressing a recent emotional downturn and a sense of numbness.
She used to wanna take her life
Reflecting on a time when someone contemplated suicide.
We used to always stay inside
Recalling a period of isolation and staying indoors with the addressed person.
And watch the rain fall coming down

Funny I never see you now
