Lyrics
I know you think that she can love you
The listener believes that another person can provide love.
I know you think that she can glue you back again
The listener believes this person can heal and mend their brokenness.
Fix what is left
Expressing a desire to repair what remains of the relationship.
And all this time I've tried to help you
The singer has consistently tried to assist the listener.
Even the days that we were both losing our minds
Recalling challenging times shared, but the singer was supportive.
I didn't mind
The singer didn't mind enduring difficulties together.
Holding on to pictures I still liked
Clings to positive memories through pictures.
Couldn't bring myself to throw away
Struggling to discard tangible remnants of the past.
I still talk about you all the time
Still talks about the listener frequently.
Cause in my head you're still mine
The listener remains emotionally present in the singer's thoughts.
And I know we both live separate lives
Acknowledging the separate lives both lead now.
How was it only just a year ago
Reflecting on how recent the separation feels.
I was still holding your hand
Remembering a time when physical closeness was present.
And God save almost anyone
A plea for protection for anyone attempting to interfere with plans.
Who ever tried to touch our plans
Highlighting the exclusivity and dedication in the relationship.
You'd say I was just for you and you were just for me
Expressing commitment and exclusivity between the couple.
But there's someone in between us
A third party has entered the relationship.
Guess that was over pretty quick
Recognition that the relationship ended swiftly.
Guess that was over pretty quick
Reiteration of the sudden end to the relationship.
Questioning if I could trust you
Doubt about the trustworthiness of the listener.
We both had issues
Both parties had issues causing distress.
That would drive us both insane
No justification for involving someone else in the relationship.
But that was no excuse to invite somebody in
Arguments led to making others uncomfortable.
We would argue til we made somebody sick
Stubbornness prevented resolution, resorting to negative coping mechanisms.
Both as stubborn no we wouldn't quit
Both refused to give in, resorting to unhealthy habits.
Turn to drink and midnight fall right in
Escaping reality through alcohol and late-night introspection.
Separate rooms to keep the peace
Physical separation to maintain peace, yet causing mental turmoil.
Always causing me to overthink
Constant overthinking due to ongoing conflicts.
How was it only just a year ago
Recalling a time of physical closeness with the listener.
I was still holding your hand
Reflecting on a time when holding hands was natural.
And God save almost anyone
Reiterating the protective sentiment toward shared plans.
Who ever tried to touch our plans
Emphasizing the exclusivity and sanctity of their plans.
You'd say I was just for you and you were just for me
Reaffirming the unique bond between the singer and the listener.
But there's someone in between
Acknowledging the interference of an outsider.
Guess that was over pretty quick
Recognition of the swift end to the interference.
What hurt me the worst of all
Expressing the deep emotional pain caused by the events.
Is that this isn't me you know
Disassociation from the person the singer has become.
But one of us should take the fall
Suggesting that one party should take responsibility for the breakup.
I'm not the one to break down your walls
The singer is not the one to initiate breaking down emotional barriers.
How was it only just a year ago
Reflecting on the recent past when closeness was still present.
I was still holding your hand
Recalling the time when physical closeness was prevalent.
And God save almost anyone
Reiterating the protective sentiment toward shared plans.
Who ever tried to touch our plans
Emphasizing the exclusivity and sanctity of their plans.
You'd say I was just for you and you were just for me
Reaffirming the unique bond between the singer and the listener.
But there's someone in between us
Acknowledging the interference of an outsider.
Guess that was over pretty quick
Recognition of the swift end to the interference.
