Lyrics
gave you my coat under cover
Giving a protective gesture, offering my coat discreetly.
we were 6 feet under in trisha's
In a grave situation at Trisha's place, possibly metaphorical or symbolic.
we dressed up and danced with ourselves in the mirror you were never one to make decisions
Dressing up and dancing alone in front of the mirror, highlighting a lack of decisiveness.
but that was summer and you still can't look at me when it goes quiet at my place
Referring to a past summer where there's discomfort or unease when it gets silent.
just a showpiece in all of those crowded rooms
Feeling like a mere display in crowded places, possibly overlooked.
when you're looking for green eyes on your face
Searching for recognition or attention from someone with green eyes.
call me up and tell me you don't know really him all that well
A request to call and admit uncertainty about knowing someone well.
say i'm acting jealous but i've never seen the way you look him up and down how come you won't love me from your room?
Expressing jealousy and a desire for love, noticing how someone looks at another.
i can hear him smiling down the phone
Hearing joy in the voice of the person talking to someone else on the phone.
i don't wanna talk when i know your bleeding for someone else
Preferring silence when aware that the person is emotionally invested in someone else.
i know bleeding for someone else
Reiteration of the emotional pain of witnessing someone bleed emotionally for another.
pick up and leave me for someone else i know bleeding for someone else
Expressing the realization that the person may leave for someone else, causing emotional pain.
i tried to take you back but now i see
Attempting reconciliation but realizing that the person doesn't need you.
you don't need me there, if he's not around to see us smile lost in my pride
Feeling abandoned when not in the presence of the person you care about.
call me up and tell me you don't know really him all that well
Repeating the request to call and confessing a lack of knowledge about someone else.
say i'm acting jealous but i've never seen the way you look him up and down how come you won't love me from your room?
Acknowledging jealousy due to observing how the person looks at someone else.
i can hear him smiling down the phone
Hearing happiness in the person's voice while talking to someone else on the phone.
i don't wanna talk when i know your bleeding for someone else
Choosing not to communicate when aware of the person's emotional connection with another.
i know bleeding for someone else
Reiteration of the emotional pain of witnessing someone bleed emotionally for another.
pick up and leave me for someone else i know bleeding for someone else
Expressing the fear of being left for someone else, causing emotional pain.
