Lyrics
She's the blade that sliced through my heart
Referring to someone as the cause of deep emotional pain
This exchange has left my chest marked
Indicates the lasting impact or scars left by the emotional exchange
Even though we've fallen far apart
Despite the separation, distance remains between the two
I should have known known it from the start
Regret for not recognizing the inevitable outcome from the beginning
She's the blade that sliced through my heart
Reiterates the pain caused by the person
This exchange has left my chest marked
Repetition emphasizes the lasting impact on the singer's emotional state
Even though we've fallen far apart
Despite the distance, emotional repercussions persist
I should have known known it from the start
Regret and acknowledgment of the lack of foresight
Seconds turn to hours
Highlighting the passage of time, feeling prolonged
And days turn to years
Emphasizing the elongated duration of pain and separation
Memories turn to flowers
Memories change but remain beautiful and poignant
And people disappear
People vanish or fade away from the singer's life
Now I'm on my own
Expressing the singer's current solitary state
Minutes turn to days
Time passing and compounding the singer's feelings of separation
And days turn to weeks
Emphasizes the ongoing struggle with time
I can't live this way
Feeling unable to continue living without the person
Without my little freak
Expressing affection for the unique qualities of the person
I'm holding on to you
Desire to hold onto the person despite the pain
With my heart exposed
Vulnerability and openness towards the person
I gotta let you go
Realization of the need to let go for personal healing
I couldn't sew me up
Inability to mend emotional wounds caused by the person
Cause I've had enough
Reaching a breaking point and deciding not to continue enduring pain
She's the blade that sliced through my heart
Reiteration of the person's role in causing deep emotional hurt
This exchange has left my chest marked
Impact of the emotional exchange on the singer's emotional state
Even though we've fallen far apart
Despite distance, emotional scars persist
I should have known known it from the start
Reflecting on the hindsight about the relationship
She's the blade that sliced through my heart
Repeated emphasis on the emotional pain inflicted by the person
This exchange has left my chest marked
Reiteration of the lasting impact of the emotional exchange
Even though we've fallen far apart
Distance hasn't diminished the emotional impact
I should have known known it from the start
Regret for not realizing the outcome earlier
Look at what you've done
Expressing the consequences of the person's actions
I just wanna disappear
Desire to escape from the pain caused by the person
Put away your gun
Metaphorically asking the person to stop causing fear and distress
I don't wanna live in fear
Expressing unwillingness to live in constant fear
I just want your love
Desire for the person's affection and care
You've got me looking dumb
Feeling exposed or vulnerable due to the person's behavior
With the phone to my ear
Feeling pressured or overwhelmed due to unclear communication
Now I'm on the run
Feeling the need to escape from the situation
Cause instructions weren't clear
Confusion and frustration due to unclear guidance or instructions
You're giving mixed signals
Conflicting or ambiguous messages from the person
With my heart exposed
Continued vulnerability and the need to let go for personal healing
I gotta let you go
Realization of the necessity to move on from the painful situation
I couldn't sew me up
Feeling unable to repair emotional wounds
Cause I've had enough
Reaching a point of decision to stop enduring pain
