Lyrics
I've been lost, I'm not okay, I feel like a waste of energy time and space
Expresses a sense of being lost and feeling inadequate, both emotionally and existentially.
I've been low, and getting high, to cloud the thoughts of you out my mind
Describes using substances or distractions to cope with thoughts of a specific person.
And all my effort, all of my time, feels like it's going nowhere and I'm
Conveys frustration about investing time and effort without seeing progress or positive results.
Tired of thinking, about his hands, being on you and I can't
Reflects on the distressing thoughts of another person's hands being on the subject's significant other.
I can't
Reiteration of the sense of incapacity or being unable to change the situation.
And I had it all, and I let it go, and that was the first mistake I made
Regrets a past decision that led to losing something valuable, possibly a relationship.
I should've been smarter, I should've worked harder, and now you've taken it all away
Acknowledges a lack of foresight and effort, resulting in losing what was once possessed.
And it breaks my heart, to know that you, will restart with someone else and I will too
Expresses emotional pain and acceptance of the inevitable restart with someone else.
But it's so hard, to handle the fact, that if it wasn't for me we could last
Struggles with the difficulty of accepting that the relationship could have endured without the speaker's mistakes.
We could last
Repetition of the idea that the relationship could have endured under different circumstances.
I've been lost, I'm not okay, I feel like a waste of energy time and space
Repeats the initial feelings of being lost and ineffective.
I've been low, and getting high, to cloud the thoughts of you out my mind
Reiterates the use of coping mechanisms to distract from thoughts of the person in question.
And all my effort, all of my time, feels like it's going nowhere and I'm
Reiterates the frustration of seemingly futile efforts and lack of progress.
Tired of thinking, about his hands, being on you and I can't
Repeats the distressing thoughts about another person's involvement with the speaker's significant other.
I can't
Reiterates the sense of powerlessness in the face of challenging circumstances.
