Lyrics
I tried too hard again, to be your friend
I put in too much effort once again, attempting to maintain our friendship.
I pulled my plastic back, you left yourself wrapped up With you my heart shakes
I revealed my vulnerabilities, but you remained distant, and my heart trembles when I think of you.
Late night listening to James Blake
During late nights, I find solace in listening to James Blake, perhaps to cope with emotions.
I tried to catch your drift
I tried to understand your feelings or intentions.
Wasn't ready for the break in your winds
I wasn't prepared for the disruption in your life, like an unexpected change or challenge.
Wasn't ready for the break in your winds
Reiteration of the unpreparedness for the disruptions in your life.
I melt with you, I lose all solid ground
I become vulnerable and lose my emotional stability when I am with you.
I split in two, then three, then four, then five
Under the emotional pressure, I feel myself breaking into multiple pieces.
So soft I'm barely alive
I become so fragile that I feel almost lifeless.
I tried to clean this up, a crime scene baby but had no luck You took my tongue right out, didn't recognise the words that came out I've been let down once more
I attempted to fix the aftermath of a difficult situation but failed; you silenced me, and I felt betrayed.
Reaching for the clothes on your floor
In a moment of vulnerability, I reached out for intimacy or comfort, perhaps in the form of clothes.
I melt with you, I lose all solid ground
Similar to line 8, expressing the overwhelming feeling of vulnerability and emotional instability.
I split in two, then three, then four, then five
Continuation of the imagery of breaking into multiple pieces due to emotional strain.
So soft I'm barely alive
Reiterating the extreme fragility and near-lifelessness under emotional pressure.
Hope I didn't break my heart for nothing
Expressing concern about the possibility of enduring emotional pain or heartbreak for no significant reason.
Hope I didn't break my heart for nothing
Reiteration of the concern about the emotional toll being in vain.
I melt with you, I lose all solid ground
Repeating the vulnerability and emotional instability metaphor.
I split in two then three then four then five
Continuation of the imagery of breaking into multiple pieces due to emotional strain.
So soft I'm barely alive
Reiterating extreme fragility and near-lifelessness under emotional pressure.
