Lyrics
She laughs on cue
She fakes laughter at the appropriate moment.
It hurts a little
Her laughter hides some emotional pain.
She's out to prove
She is determined to demonstrate something.
That she don't wanna
She doesn't want to show affection physically by holding hands.
Hold his hand today
She avoids holding hands with someone today.
'Cause more than friends is
She fears moving beyond a friendship.
Such a dangerous game
Being more than friends is risky or potentially harmful.
Her tongue is like a candlestick
Her way of speaking is soft and comforting like a candlestick's flame.
This kind of silence
The silence between them is distressing.
Kills like suffocation
The silence feels suffocating or unbearable.
She tries to melt it
She attempts to break the silence.
But it's flame resistant
However, breaking the silence proves challenging or impossible.
Flame resistant
Repeated emphasis on the resistance to breaking the silence or the difficulty in doing so.

-She's black and blue
She feels emotionally battered and bruised.
With desperation
Her desperation is evident and overwhelming.
She's like a bruise
She's compared to a bruise, carrying pain.
He's wishing she'd just
He wishes she would spare herself from emotional distress.
Save herself the pain
He thinks she should avoid the pain of unreciprocated feelings.
Why can't she see that
She fails to realize his lack of reciprocal feelings.
He don't feel the same
He doesn't share her romantic emotions.
She's locked inside his neon grip
She feels trapped by his captivating hold or influence.
She tries to hold him
She tries to maintain a connection with him.
But his hands are ice picks
His actions or responses are cold and hurtful.
She tries to melt them
She attempts to warm his cold behavior.
But they're flame resistant
Repeated emphasis on his resistance to her attempts at warmth or connection.
