Lyrics
You can write my place out of the life you make
You can exclude my presence from the life you're creating
And all the things that mattered when you knew my face
Referring to past significance and connection when you recognized my face
Cross off all the ways I failed you 'cause I failed you
Erase all the ways I disappointed you, acknowledging my failures
But I'm still in your blood
Despite our separation, I remain a part of you, possibly through shared experiences
You're still in my blood
You still hold significance in my life, suggesting a lasting impact
A time when all our mistakes made sense, you needed it
Recalling a time when mistakes had a purpose or meaning, possibly a reference to shared experiences
A time when all the lying sympathized with sin
Reflecting on a period when dishonesty was understood and accepted alongside sin
All this sabotage and blame, well, I can take it
Enduring acts of self-sabotage and accepting blame, indicating a willingness to bear the consequences
'Cause I just want you back
Expressing a desire to reconcile and restore the relationship
I just want you back
Reiterating the strong desire to reunite
Temporary battles can take up half your life
Highlighting that temporary conflicts can consume a significant portion of life
How you dig your bed, will it help you sleep at night?
Questioning whether the way one shapes their surroundings affects their peace of mind
Forgiveness like a blanket that you want to forget
Comparing forgiveness to a blanket that one may want to forget, suggesting the difficulty of letting go
But you still crumble at my name
Despite efforts to move on, the mention of the name still has a profound impact
You still crumble at my name
Reiteration of the lingering emotional effect of the speaker's name
A time when all our mistakes made sense, you needed it
Recalling a time when mistakes seemed understandable and necessary
A time when all the lying sympathized with sin
Reflecting on a period when lies were tolerated and aligned with sin
All this sabotage and blame, well, I can take it
Accepting responsibility for acts of sabotage and blame, reiterating a willingness to endure consequences
'Cause I just want you back
Expressing the sole desire of rekindling the past relationship
I just want you back
Reiterating the strong desire for the return of the person in question
