Wait up don't leave take me with you
Expressing a plea to wait and not leave, requesting to be taken along.
I cannot be alone so stay here and don't go

How many times have I said this but you always decide to leave
Recounting a repeated situation where the person decides to leave despite pleas.
You leave me with nothing but memories
Expressing the consequence of departure – left with only memories.
It's impossible to embrace things that we used to do
Highlighting the difficulty of embracing past activities.
And the only thing that makes me smile is a thought of you
Stating that thoughts of the person are the only source of happiness.
Our moments are rolling in my head like a film clips on the TV screen
Describing memories as vivid, playing like film clips in the mind.
Now I remember every word you said
Recalling and remembering every word spoken by the person.
You said
Repeating the words spoken by the person, emphasizing their significance.
We're not in tune and will never be
Acknowledging a lack of harmony and an impossibility to sync with the person.
We're adding insults to injuries
Adding conflicts and insults to an already injured relationship.
But in your shadows I learnt to live
Finding a way to live within the shadows of the person.
And it's the only place that lets me breathe
Viewing the shadows as the only place that allows the person to breathe.
Your skin tastes like cyanide

And it's burning my insides
Expressing the internal burning sensation caused by the person.
Your hands are as cold as a stone and my heart's torn in a million pieces

All thanks to you
Attributing the pain and brokenness to the person.
I'm trying to learn to breathe under the sun again
Attempting to regain normalcy and breathe freely in the sun's presence.
But it seems like I lost a will to live
Expressing a loss of will to live despite efforts to adapt.
Won't you pick me up and put me under your tired wings
Seeking comfort and protection under the person's wings.
But I already know what you're gonna say to me
Anticipating a predictable response from the person.
You'll say
Revealing the expected response, indicating a lack of harmony.
We're not in tune and will never be
Reiterating the theme of discord and lack of synchronization.
We're adding insults to injuries
Continuing to add conflicts to an already injured relationship.
But in your shadows I learnt to live
Affirming the ability to live within the shadows of the person.
And it's the only place that lets me breathe
Reiterating the shadows as the sole place allowing the person to breathe.
We're not in tune and will never be

We're adding insults to injuries
Continuing to add conflicts and insults to the already injured relationship.
But in your shadows I learnt to live
Reaffirming the ability to live within the shadows of the person.
And it's the only place that lets me breathe
