Lyrics
Early in the mornin'
Early in the morning, indicating the start of the day.
I can see a thousand teardrops fallin'
Observation of numerous tears falling, suggesting a sense of sadness or emotional distress.
I don't wanna be here
Expressing a desire not to be present in the current situation or circumstance.
Everything I feel just makes me crawlin'
The emotions experienced make the individual feel vulnerable or weak.
I want that, we shut down the past

Enemies stay and they drive you mad

I want that, we shut down the past
Reiteration of the wish to leave past events behind.
There's no other way

You are, you are, you are
Repeating affirmation that the other person is better off without the singer; acknowledging the benefit of separation.
Better off here without me
-You are, you are, you are better off
-There's no doubt about it
-'Cause I don't wanna drag you down
-I don't wanna hurt you anymore
-You are, you are, you are
-Better off
-I should better leave now
Acknowledgment of the necessity to depart from the situation.
Everything I feel just makes me wonder

If I'm gonna break down

I want that, we shut down the past
