Lyrics
Oh, what did you think
Expressing curiosity or surprise about the listener's expectations or assumptions.
I'd be
Reflecting on the speaker's identity or role.
I'm a silver medal painted gold
Describing oneself as a second-place finisher pretending to be superior, symbolized by "painted gold."
Lord knows that I'm weak
Acknowledging personal vulnerability or flaws.
Just feeding
Admitting to dishonesty, likely in communication.
You lies into your telephone
Continuing the theme of deception, possibly through technology or distance.
Oh, all my friends know my name
Recognition that the speaker is known by name but not truly understood by friends.
But they don't know a thing about me
Highlighting a lack of genuine knowledge or understanding among the speaker's acquaintances.
Shattered on the floor
Describing a personal emotional breakdown or crisis.
My love
Expressing the speaker's love as ineffective or unable to mend emotional wounds.
Never seems to pick the pieces up
Acknowledging the difficulty in recovering from emotional setbacks.
And all these broken hearts
Referring to the pain caused by failed relationships.
Wage war
Depicting a struggle or conflict among broken hearts, possibly implying competition for love.
On the thought they'll never be enough
Suggesting that individuals feel inadequate or insufficient in relationships.
All good men got their rival
Pointing out that every good person has a personal challenge or adversary.
And mine is staring back at me
Identifying the speaker's personal rival, which is a reflection of the self.
It's a day in a life on Earth
Describing a typical day in the speaker's life on Earth, emphasizing its broken and beautiful nature.
And it's broken and beautiful
Reiterating the dual nature of life on Earth, with both flaws and beauty.
And this heartbreak is bound to grow
Anticipating that heartbreak is an inevitable part of life's journey.
And the future you'll never know
Highlighting the uncertainty of the future.
But you
Addressing the listener, assuring them that they will always have the speaker's love.
You'll never be without my love
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the speaker's love, despite challenges.
And nothing that you do
Stating that the listener's actions cannot diminish what the speaker has sacrificed or given up.
Can take from what I've given up
Reinforcing the commitment to love unconditionally from east to west.
From east to west, so far I'll love you
Expressing a desire for mutual love and commitment.
If only you might do the same
Encouraging reciprocity in love, hoping for a similar commitment from the listener.
