Lyrics

I've called 10 times tonight

The speaker has attempted to contact someone 10 times during the night.

Guess it shows you don't care about

Interpretation of the other person's actions suggests they don't care about the speaker.

The things I said in confidence

The speaker shared confidential things, possibly emotionally intimate, with the person they tried to reach.

As you wiped the blood off my mouth

The person wiped blood off the speaker's mouth, indicating a potentially violent or harmful situation.

It took a lot of time to let it go and let it die

Overcoming a challenging past, but the emotional scars persist, causing distress.

It's not alright cause I'm still tearing at my eyes

Despite efforts to move on, internal struggles persist, causing emotional pain.

I wake up sweaty in my bed without you

Waking up without the person, realizing time has been wasted and facing the consequences.

Realizing I've wasted all my time, hit the ground too hard

Regret for hitting the ground too hard metaphorically or possibly physically.

You're mumbling "I love you"s

The person is expressing love verbally, but the authenticity or sincerity is questionable.

As you come back down to earth

The person is returning from a high state to reality.

Line after god damn line

Repeated confessions or statements made in the past.

At least you said it for all it's worth

Despite repeated statements, there is uncertainty about their true value.

Maybe we could reconvene

Suggesting a possibility of reconciliation or communication.

Or you could let me see you through your smoke screen

A desire to see through someone's facade or deception.

I'd be happy to watch you bleed

An unsettling desire to witness someone's pain and suffering.

And wash the wound out with bleach

Symbolic use of bleach to cleanse emotional wounds.

These rules that we bent are all just means to an end

Reflection on bending rules as a means to an end in the past.

I saw your face looking so out of place

Observation of someone looking out of place or uncomfortable.

Our names on a wall

The speaker's and the other person's names are on a wall, possibly symbolizing a memorial.

You'd think divine intervention is at fault

Skepticism about divine intervention in their situation.

At least now I know you put on a real good show

Realization that the other person can put on a convincing act or facade.

Whatcha doin at a time like this

A rhetorical question asking about the other person's actions during difficult times.

Don't you just feel so pissed off

An expression of anger or frustration at the current situation.

I was in the bathroom high

Recounting a past experience of being high in the bathroom.

You were happy watching me die I'm not

The other person seemed content watching the speaker suffer or face difficulties.

Fucked up over things in the past

Struggling with past issues and the speaker's desire for lasting relationships.

I just wish that I could make a thing last for once

A longing for stability and the ability to make things last.

And it through me for a loop when you went

A surprising and disorienting change when the other person left.

Now I'm sitting wondering if you're dead or not

The speaker is uncertain about the other person's well-being.

Whatcha doin at a time like this

A repetition of the earlier question about the other person's actions during difficult times.

Don't you just feel so pissed off

Continued expression of frustration at the current situation.

I was in the bathroom high

A repetition of the past experience of being high in the bathroom.

You were happy watching me die I'm not

Reiteration of the other person's apparent satisfaction with the speaker's suffering.

Fucked up over things in the past

Revisiting past struggles and the desire for lasting connections.

I just wish that I could make a thing last for once

Reiteration of the speaker's longing for stability and enduring relationships.

And it through me for a loop when you went

A sense of disorientation caused by the sudden departure of the other person.

Now I'm sitting wondering if you're dead or not

Continued uncertainty about the other person's well-being.

Sitting wondering if you're dead or not

Repeated contemplation on whether the other person is alive or not.

Sitting wondering if you're dead or not

Continued uncertainty about the other person's status.

Sitting wondering if you're dead or not

Ongoing contemplation on whether the other person is alive or not.

Sitting wondering if you're dead or not

Persistent uncertainty about the other person's well-being.
