Lyrics
Don't cry
Encouraging someone not to cry, offering reassurance
You'll be fine
Reassuring the person that everything will be okay
You'll be fine
Repeated reassurance of well-being
Don't waste your time
Advising against wasting time, possibly on negative emotions
I'm alright
Expressing personal well-being
I'll be fine
Self-assurance that the speaker will be fine
Don't say that you love me
Warning against professing love due to a perceived lie
Cause I know you lied
Accusing the person of dishonesty in expressing love
Don't say that you trust me
Cautioning against claiming trust, with doubt evident
I can see it in your eyes
Observing a lack of trust evident in the person's eyes
And you stole my brother
Accusing the person of stealing the speaker's brother
So I cry every night
Expressing emotional pain, crying every night
Every night
Repetition of nightly crying, emphasizing emotional distress
And I saw your sisters
Mentioning encountering the person's sisters
I felt so paralyzed
Feeling emotionally paralyzed after interacting with the sisters
I know I hurt ya
Admitting to causing harm, acknowledging the pain inflicted
But I still feel the knife
Despite causing pain, still feeling the emotional impact
And that call from your mother
Referring to a distressing call from the person's mother
It keeps me up at night
The call causing insomnia and emotional turmoil
(And I)
Beginning of a transition or reflection (contextually ambiguous)
And I've Flown Away
Expressing a departure or escape, possibly from emotional pain
And I've Flown Away
Repeating the sentiment of flying away, emphasizing departure
(I've flown away I've flown away)
Reiteration of having flown away, possibly emphasizing freedom
And I've Flown Away
Repeating the idea of flying away, reinforcing the theme
(I've flown away I've flown away)
Continued emphasis on the act of flying away
And you dug our grave
Accusing the person of contributing to a detrimental situation
(I've flown away I've flown away)
Repeating the theme of flying away, possibly emphasizing finality
OH!
An emotional exclamation, possibly conveying pain or frustration
And I've flown away
Repeating the idea of having flown away
And I've flown away
Reiteration of the act of flying away
And you dug our grave
Repeating the accusation of the person digging their shared grave
And you dug our grave
Repeating the concept of digging their shared grave
Dug our grave
Reiteration of the accusation of digging their shared grave
