Lyrics
Settle down honey,
Addressing someone affectionately, suggesting they calm down
You’re letting your tears go to waste
Implying emotions are being wasted by crying
Cause you’re the one cutting ties with every person you face
Accusing the person of ending relationships with everyone they meet
So settle down honey,
Reiteration to settle down
You’re letting your tears go to waste
Reiterating the notion of tears being wasted
You break in without a care
Describing someone entering without caution
Waiting for your saviour
Waiting for help or rescue
You keep saying life’s unfair
Continuously claiming life is unjust
But you’re the perpetrator
Pointing out the person as the one causing harm
I wanna know if there’s blood in your veins
Expressing a desire to understand someone’s inner nature
And I wanna know if you feel this pain
Wanting to know if the person experiences pain
Cause my heart is beating and my scars are healing
Personal resilience shown through healing scars
And I wanna know if we’re built the same
Questioning similarities in resilience and emotional strength
Tell me now Lady,
Asking if the person feels betrayed
Do you still feel betrayed?
Challenging the person’s feelings of betrayal
Cause you’re digging your own grave
Implying the consequences of the person’s actions
And lying in the bed that you’ve made
Consequence of actions and self-blame
So tell me now Lady,
Repeating the inquiry about feeling betrayed
Do you still feel betrayed?
Continuing to question feelings of betrayal
You break in without a care
Reiterating someone’s careless entry
Waiting for your saviour
Repeating the wait for rescue
You keep saying life’s unfair
Reiterating the claim of life’s injustice
But you’re the perpetrator
Reinforcing the accusation of causing harm
I wanna know if there’s blood in your veins
Repetition of the desire to understand someone’s nature
And I wanna know if you feel this pain
Reiterating the desire to know if the person experiences pain
Cause my heart is beating and my scars are healing
Personal resilience and healing reiterated
And I wanna know if we’re built the same
Questioning similarities in emotional experiences
Oh, now you’re falling apart
Observation of someone falling apart emotionally
I can see it, I can feel it
Perception and acknowledgment of another’s emotional breakdown
But when I felt the same
Recollection of being left shattered emotionally
You left me in pieces, pieces
Expressing personal emotional distress due to abandonment
You know that there’s blood through my veins
Assertion of personal experience of pain and resilience
And you know that I felt pain
Reiteration of personal pain
But my heart’s still beating and my scars are healing
Reiteration of personal resilience
And now I know we’re not built the same
Conclusion about differences in resilience and emotional makeup
