Lyrics

It’s been so long, I can’t remember

Feeling a long passage of time, unable to recall the last shared experience.

The last thing we did together

Expressing a sense of loss, not remembering the final shared moment.

I feel so tied, down, love divide

Feeling emotionally constrained and love being a source of division.

Everything fades in a blur

Perceiving life events fading away in a hazy manner.

Does it even matter what I say ?

Questioning the significance of words spoken, wondering if they make a difference.


I don’t want to admit to something

Reluctance to confess to something, a desire to return to a past time with a partner.

Get back to the time it was just you and me

Nostalgia for a time when it was just the speaker and the partner.

I don’t want to admit to something

Continued hesitation to admit to something, an acknowledgment that returning to the past is not possible.

No I can’t go back

Acknowledging the impossibility of going back in time.


I can't let things go bad and deep

A determination not to let things deteriorate deeply.

Although you put my head on fire

Despite challenges, the partner has ignited intense emotions in the speaker.

It's killing and obsessing me

The intense emotions are causing distress and preoccupation in every aspect of life.

In every single way

The impact of the partner's actions is profound and leads the speaker to a vulnerable state.

'till I fall down on my knees,

A point of emotional surrender, falling to the knees in response to overwhelming feelings.

Burning my own desire

The partner's actions intensify the speaker's internal desires, creating inner turmoil.

I must let go, not control it

An acceptance of the need to let go and not try to control the situation.

And everything 'll be okay

Belief that releasing control will lead to a resolution and a return to normalcy.


I’m sorry for what I’ve done,

Apologizing for past actions, expressing regret.

I’m sorry that we’re both alone

Recognizing shared loneliness and expressing regret about the current state of the relationship.

I can’t imagine it was in vain,

Belief that actions were not in vain, hoping for healing and pain relief.

heal my wound, numb the pain

A plea for emotional healing and relief from pain caused by the partner.

Neither guilty nor blameless,

Claiming neither guilt nor innocence, acknowledging the aftermath of a tumultuous emotional experience.

sky’s clearer after it comes the rain,

Positivity and clarity coming after a difficult period, likened to the clearing sky after rainfall.

It comes the rain

Reiterating the theme of emotional cleansing and renewal following a challenging experience.
