Lyrics

Why do you see me

Questioning why the observer acknowledges the singer

Why can't I just be dead

Expressing a desire for escape or relief from pain

Yeah, I tried so hard not to be

Struggling to avoid a negative state or condition

Almost dead

Close to the brink of death

But still my heart won't leave

A metaphorical reference to emotional pain persisting

My chest

Emphasizing the emotional impact on the singer's core

Will they ever hit me

Desire for acknowledgment or attention from others

Oh, I'm never done

Feeling incomplete or unfinished

Drawing rivers 'till I bleed

Metaphorically depicting emotional wounds

Even when I've grown

Despite personal growth, emotional pain persists

But days after days

Monotonous existence, feeling unaffected by time

The world leaves me untouched

Feeling detached from the world around

I can't lie, there's no reason for my heart

Admitting there's no rational cause for heartache

Why does the moon inspire me

Questioning inspiration from something distant or unattainable

Why can't I leave my bed

Struggling with the desire to stay in bed, avoiding reality

All I see in my dreams

Referencing dreams involving the death of a loved one

You are dead

Continued emotional attachment despite the person being gone

But still my heart won't leave

Reiteration of emotional struggle residing in the singer's core

My chest

Emphasizing the emotional impact on the singer's core

Will they ever hit me

Desire for acknowledgment or attention from others

Oh, I'm never done

Feeling incomplete or unfinished

Drawing rivers 'till I bleed

Metaphorically depicting emotional wounds

Even when I've grown

Despite personal growth, emotional pain persists

But days after days

Monotonous existence, feeling unaffected by time

The world leaves me untouched

Feeling detached from the world around

I can't lie, there's no reason for my heart

Admitting there's no rational cause for heartache

See girl I wanna be alone

Expressing a desire for solitude

I walked the moon and felt more at home

Recalling a time when the moon felt comforting

It's the warmth of your eyes It's the color of the sky

Associating positive feelings with someone's eyes and the sky

See my heart was filled with the color of the night

Describing a heart filled with darkness or sadness

And I never felt the need to take another ride

Contentment with the current emotional state

Why do you see me when I try to go outside

Questioning why the observer sees the singer when trying to move on

Yeah, I tried so hard not to see your other side

Expressing difficulty in avoiding knowledge of a painful truth
