Lyrics

You say we were built together

You claim that our connection was built together.

Scribbled on a piece of paper

Compared our relationship to something hastily written on paper.

And scattered apart

Suggested that we've drifted apart.


You say "Love we're drawn together"

You express that our love brings us together.

Pulled off the refrigerator

Referenced an image on the refrigerator as a metaphor for our bond.

And magnetized at heart

Described being strongly attracted to each other.


But I don't think so

I disagree with your perspective.

And I thought I told you so

Previously conveyed this disagreement.

But you pulled me close

You drew me close despite my reservations.

And went through me like a ghost

Describes feeling emotionally penetrated or affected.

And I hate the things

I detest the emotions or memories you've trapped within me.

That you trapped inside my throat

Expresses disdain for the emotional burden caused by the other person.

How you made me feel

Describes feeling manipulated or influenced by words.

With your words, like chloroform

Compares the effect of the other person's words to a powerful anesthetic.

And I hate the taste

Dislikes the lingering aftertaste of those words.

That it puts into my mouth

Metaphorically stained, feeling permanently affected.

Now I'm always stained

Permanently marked emotionally, likened to stained sheets.

Like the sheets at my parents house

Feels deeply affected by past experiences, unable to forget.

Yeah, I'm awfully stained

Emphasizes the persistent and indelible nature of the emotional impact.

And it's never coming out

Implies that the emotional impact won't fade away.

Yeah, I'm always stained

Reiterates the enduring effect of the emotional experience.

It's a match that's been burned down

Compares the lasting impact to a burnt-out match, suggesting irreparable damage.
