Lyrics
I should've known
The speaker acknowledges they should have anticipated something.
I'd leave alone
Realization that they will be departing alone.
Just goes to show
Expressing a lesson learned, emphasizing experience.
That the blood you bleed
The blood one sheds is a result of debts and obligations.
Is just the blood you owe
Highlighting the interconnectedness of personal and metaphorical debts.
We were a pair
Recalling a past relationship or partnership.
But I saw you there
A moment of realization upon encountering the other person.
Too much to bear
Expressing an unbearable emotional burden.
You were my life
Acknowledging the significant role the person played in their life.
But life is far away from fair
Life is not always fair, creating distance from the ideal.
Was I stupid to love you?
Raising a self-doubt about the wisdom of loving the person.
Was I reckless to help?
Questioning the prudence of offering help to the person.
Was it obvious to everybody else
Suggesting that the truth was apparent to everyone but the speaker.
That I'd fallen for a lie?
Admitting to being deceived or manipulated.
You were never on my side
Expressing a sense of betrayal and lack of support.
Fool me once, fool me twice
Reflecting on being fooled repeatedly.
Are you death or paradise?
Pondering whether the person is destructive or idyllic.
Now you'll never see me cry
Declaring emotional resilience, refusing to cry.
There's just no time to die
Emphasizing the urgency of moving on; no time for emotional distress.
I let it burn
Letting go of emotions, detachment from concerns.
You're no longer my concern
Confirming the end of emotional investment in the person.
Faces from my past return
Past experiences resurface, presenting new challenges.
Another lesson yet to learn
Acknowledging that there are more lessons to be learned.
That I'd fallen for a lie
Reiterating the realization of being deceived.
You were never on my side
Reaffirming the lack of support from the person.
Fool me once, fool me twice
Reflecting on the repetitive nature of deception.
Are you death or paradise?
Pondering whether the person is harmful or ideal.
Now you'll never see me cry
Declaring emotional strength, resisting tears.
There's just no time to die
Reiterating the urgency of moving on.
No time to die
Emphasizing the immediate need to move forward without delay.
No time to die
Repeating the notion that there is no time for emotional distress.
Fool me once, fool me twice
Reflecting on being fooled repeatedly.
Are you death or paradise?
Pondering whether the person is destructive or idyllic.
Now you'll never see me cry
Reiterating emotional resilience, avoiding tears.
There's just no time to die
Stressing the urgency of moving on without emotional burdens.
