Lyrics
Heard you just say that you're through with us
Expressing awareness of a breakup or separation.
I always thought I'm not good enough
Feeling a lack of self-worth in the relationship.
So what's it gonna take just to stay in touch
Questioning what it will take to maintain communication.
You only lied so I'd fall in love
Believing the partner lied to induce love.
Fearing a deeper obsession I can't live without you
Fearing a strong, possibly unhealthy, attachment.
Say that you're leaving and knowing you're who I will run to
Acknowledging the desire to run to the person leaving.
You know that I need it
Expressing a desperate need for something.
I'm running out of air I'm going low
Feeling breathless and running out of emotional energy.
I need you to see it
Seeking understanding and acknowledgment from the partner.
I'm having trouble breathing when you go
Experiencing difficulty breathing when the partner leaves.
When you're gone I'm out of my mind
Being mentally disturbed when the partner is absent.
We're OK but not alright
Acknowledging that things are not truly okay despite appearances.
I lose all my self control
Losing control over one's emotions.
When I feel we're not so close
Feeling distant from the partner.
I'm having trouble breathing when you go
Experiencing difficulty breathing due to the partner's absence.
Had me hooked like you're my lifeline
Describing the partner as a crucial support system.
You were the reason I felt so alive
Attributing a sense of vitality to the partner.
You kept me running on fight or flight
Dependence on the partner for motivation and energy.
I knew you would hurt me but if felt right
Accepting the anticipation of pain in the relationship.
Fearing a deeper obsession I can't live without you
Fearing an intense and possibly unhealthy attachment.
Say that you're leaving and knowing you're who I will run to
Expressing the inclination to run to the departing partner.
You know that I need it
Reiterating the desperate need for something.
I'm running out of air I'm going low
Feeling physically and emotionally depleted.
I need you to see it
Seeking acknowledgment and understanding from the partner.
I'm having trouble breathing when you go
Experiencing difficulty breathing when the partner leaves.
When you're gone I'm out of my mind
Being mentally disturbed in the partner's absence.
We're OK but not alright
Acknowledging the facade of being okay despite inner turmoil.
I lose all my self control
Losing control over emotions.
When I feel we're not so close
Feeling a distance in the relationship.
I'm having trouble breathing when you go
Experiencing difficulty breathing when the partner is away.
You know that I need it
Expressing the desperate need for something.
I'm running out of air I'm going low
Feeling physically and emotionally depleted.
I need you to see it
Seeking acknowledgment and understanding from the partner.
I'm having trouble breathing when you go
Experiencing difficulty breathing when the partner leaves.
When you're gone I'm out of my mind
Being mentally disturbed in the partner's absence.
We're OK but not alright
Acknowledging the superficial nature of okay-ness.
I lose all my self control
Losing control over emotions.
When I feel we're not so close
Feeling a distance in the relationship.
I'm having trouble breathing when you go
Experiencing difficulty breathing when the partner is away.
When you're gone I'm out of my mind
Being mentally disturbed in the partner's absence.
When you're gone I'm out of my mind
Repetition of the mental disturbance when the partner is gone.
When you're gone I'm out of my mind
-When you're gone I'm out of my mind
-I'm having trouble breathing when you go
Experiencing difficulty breathing when the partner leaves.
