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.
