Lyrics

There's a typo

There's a mistake or error.

So the blood work won't go through

Complications prevent the completion of blood work.

His heart is beating faster than two virgins sitting in a bedroom, clear

Someone's heart is beating rapidly, likened to the nervousness of two inexperienced individuals in a bedroom.

It's just bad luck

Unfortunate circumstances.

I never even knew what to say to you

The speaker lacked the right words to communicate with someone.

Always tried to protect me I'm guessing

Someone attempted to protect the speaker.

So I won't tell you

The speaker refrains from revealing something.

That I can't sleep

Insomnia or difficulty sleeping.

A depressed beat

A melancholic rhythm or mood.

For an old weak man

Referring to an elderly, frail person.

I can't keep this up

The speaker struggles to maintain something.

This is just my way to show tough love

Tough love is expressed through a specific behavior.

Cause I can't even tell what he thinks of me

Uncertainty about how someone perceives the speaker.


Can you see

Asking if someone can understand or perceive.

All the questions are killing me

The speaker is troubled by numerous questions.

Cause your other always makes me question

Another person's actions cause the speaker to question things.


You

Referring to someone.

You never wanted to leave

The person never intended to depart.

I never said it I know

The speaker acknowledges not expressing something before.

You never wanted to breath

The person never wanted to breathe, suggesting a desire to escape or avoid.


Well you know what

A declaration before sharing a personal habit.

Been smoking cigarettes since you said to

The speaker started smoking upon someone's suggestion.

It may not have ever been direct

The influence was indirect, but the speaker respected the person.

But see I respected you

The speaker was young and lacked role models.

I was young I didn't know much

Reflecting on the past and lack of knowledge.

But who do I have to look up to...

The speaker lacked positive influences.

But now I can't think of a worse thing other than fear

Fear induced by someone in the past.

That you ever made me do

Regretful acknowledgment of something regrettable done by the person.

Had a pretty bad mouth no doubt it's loud

Reference to having a profane and loud way of speaking.

It gets worse

The situation is deteriorating.

'Cause I'm cursed

Feeling cursed or doomed.


Can you see

Repetition of the line about questions, indicating ongoing uncertainty.

All the questions are...

No specific information provided in the lyrics.


You

Referring to someone.

You never wanted to leave

The person never intended to leave.

I never said it I know

The speaker admits to not saying something previously.

You never wanted to breath

The person never wanted to breathe, suggesting a desire to avoid something.


Still you persist in my dreams

The person continues to occupy the speaker's thoughts and dreams.

I can't shake

The speaker cannot escape the persistent thoughts, remaining awake.

Still awake

Despite being awake, the speaker feels like they are asleep or unaware.

But it seems I'm asleep

The paradoxical feeling of being asleep despite being awake continues.
