Take it from me,
Indicates a piece of advice or insight based on personal experience.
I've given in.

You're sunk further in than out.

Take it from me.

I've given in with all your secrets spilled out on me,
Having someone else's secrets disclosed or confessed.
Spilled out on me.

To all my friends,
Assurance to friends that there are no unresolved issues.
There are no loose ends,

Stick to you.
Sticking to the person; the impact remains.
Destroyed by true love,
Being devastated by genuine love or affection.
You're breaking me out of something I might never know.
Being liberated or freed from something unknown.
So clean yourself off,
An urging to clean oneself up and assist the speaker.
Get your ass up and help me out.

Sing it out loud for the memory
Encouraging vocal expression in remembrance.
Keep in tough while locked with these eyes underneath.

Quit living just to walk with the dead.
