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
