Lyrics
There are days we seem to speak in different tongues
Expressing communication difficulties or misunderstandings in a relationship.
If you’re the air I breathe, then I’m the water in your lungs
Symbolizing a deep connection, with one being vital to the other's existence.
I’ve tried to give you every reason not to stay
Attempts to provide reasons for the partner to leave, possibly due to personal struggles.
‘Cause I know it’s harder to watch and wait
Acknowledging the challenge of witnessing difficulties without actively participating.
As I fall away
Describing a personal descent or separation.
And every night, I learn the meaning of alone
Learning the feeling of loneliness during nighttime.
I can hardly face your warm embrace
Struggling to confront the warmth and comfort offered by a loved one.
And so I brave the cold
Facing challenges and enduring difficulties for the sake of the relationship.
We both know it hurts to swallow
Recognizing the pain and difficulty in accepting harsh truths.
All the words, the blood, the pills
Referring to emotional struggles, possibly involving self-harm or coping mechanisms.
So I clamber for a hand to hold
Seeking support and connection during moments of desperation.
And still I fall away
Continuing to experience a personal decline or separation.
Cos I’ve been sitting here in silence
Enduring a period of quiet reflection and healing.
‘Til my wounds are stitched and sealed
Waiting until personal wounds and emotional pain are healed and closed.
And I’ve waited all my life, to feel
Longing for a specific emotional experience that the partner used to provide.
What you once made me feel
Expressing the desire to recapture past emotions.
But when everything collapsed
Describing a collapse or crisis with no means to retain the partner.
There was no way to make you stay
Feeling powerless in preventing the partner from leaving.
It’s all that I can do to catch the pieces
Struggling to cope with the aftermath, attempting to salvage the remaining pieces.
Until I fall away
Experiencing a continued personal decline or separation.
Test me
Challenging the partner to put the speaker to the test.
Dismember me
Expressing a willingness to be broken or tested.
I’m begging for a way to be
Begging for a way to escape or transform.
Out of body
Describing a state of detachment from one's own body and mind.
Out of mind
Expressing a desire to be free from mental burdens.
Let this poison make me ill
Willingness to endure the consequences of a toxic substance.
Push me to the brink until
Enduring extreme challenges until reaching a breaking point.
I fall away the same
Repeating the theme of personal decline or separation.
I never said I’d be there
Acknowledging the absence of a commitment to always be present.
If the rain became the only thing we see
Facing a scenario where difficulties overshadow positive aspects.
And if we both can’t say we’re sorry
Raising the question of reconciliation without explicit apologies.
Can we ever meet halfway?
Exploring the possibility of finding a compromise or middle ground.
It’s all that I can do to catch the pieces
Continuing efforts to salvage the remnants of the relationship.
Until I fall away
Reiterating a personal descent or separation.
