Lyrics

I sold my life for you

I sacrificed my life for you

I sold my life for you

Reiteration of sacrificing life for someone

You took my strife from me

You relieved me of my troubles and challenges

You took my strife from me

Reiteration of being freed from strife


You don't care about the feeling anymore

You no longer care about emotions or sentiments

When it hits it's always raw

The impact is consistently intense and unfiltered

But you know it could be better

A acknowledgment that things could improve


I don't care about the songs that use these chords

Indifference towards songs using familiar chords

I am sure there's plenty more

Belief that there are numerous similar songs

But I know they're not the same

Acknowledging the uniqueness of the current situation


(What does that man see when he walks on the moon?)

Rhetorical question about the perspective of a person on the moon

(Does he see a great, big circle of blue?)

(What does that girl see when she looks in her spoon?)

Rhetorical question about a girl's reflection in a spoon

(Does she see me or does she see you?)

Uncertainty about what the girl sees, possibly relating to self-perception


You burn that hot for me

You passionately desire and burn with intensity for me

You burn that hot for me

Reiteration of intense passion and desire

You sold my life for me

You sacrificed my life for me, possibly referring to a shared sacrifice

You sold my life for me

Reiteration of shared life sacrifice


You don't care about the feeling anymore

Emphasis on the diminishing importance of emotions

When it hits it's always raw

The impact of emotions remains consistently intense and unfiltered

But you know it could be better

Acknowledgment that there is potential for improvement


I don't care about the songs that use these chords

Indifference towards songs using familiar chords

I am sure there's plenty more

But I know they're not the same

Acknowledging the uniqueness of the current situation


You burn that hot for me

You burn that hot for me
