Lyrics
And if you love me then why won't you use me?
If you love me, why won't you let me contribute or be of use?
If you hate me then why do you care?
If you dislike me, why do you still show concern or interest?
You said that we would go the distance
There was a promise to endure challenges together, but it's not being fulfilled.
Now you don't take me anywhere
The commitment to go places together seems broken, as there's no movement.
Now bite my tongue, but fuck your heart
Suppressing emotions ("bite my tongue") while expressing discontent with the partner.
And I can't stand, I can't stand you, baby
Expressing difficulty in enduring the partner; a strained relationship.
We don't know which way to go
Uncertainty and confusion about the direction or path in the relationship.
We don't know which way's home
-We don't know which way to go
-We don't know which way's home
-And we blew up like a bonfire, fire, fire
Using the metaphor of a bonfire to describe an intense, explosive phase in the relationship.
And we blew up like a bonfire, fire, fire
-And you say you want to be alone
Desire for solitude expressed by the partner.
Outside the place that we call home
Feeling alienated from the shared home or space.
When you come at me with that face
Confrontation with a perplexing situation; unable to respond adequately.
I don't know what to say
-We don't know which way to go
Reiteration of confusion and lack of direction in the relationship.
We don't know which way's home
-We don't know which way to go
-We don't know which way's home
-And we blew up like a bonfire, fire, fire
Re-emphasis on the explosive, transformative nature of the relationship.
And we blew up like a bonfire, fire, fire
-And nothing's gonna feel the same
Anticipation of significant change and the acknowledgment that love is fading away.
'Cause our love is going up in flames
-And we blew up like a bonfire, fire, fire
Highlighting the explosive nature once again.
So let's burn this to ashes
Suggesting a desire to end the relationship, symbolized by burning it down.
And go our own way
-So pass me the matches
-And we'll both watch the flames
-(Burn) So let's burn this to ashes
Repetition of the desire to end things, emphasizing the symbolic act of burning.
(Burn) And go our own way
-(Burn) So pass me the matches
-And we'll both watch the flames
-And we blew up like a bonfire, fire, fire
Recalling the explosive nature and the irreversible change it brings.
And nothing's gonna feel the same
-And we blew up like a bonfire, fire, fire
Reiteration of the intense, transformative experience.
And we blew up like a bonfire, fire, fire
-And nothing's gonna feel the same
Acknowledgment that things won't be the same; love is disintegrating.
'Cause our love is going up in flames
-And we blew up like a bonfire, fire, fire
Final emphasis on the explosive nature and the irreversible transformation of the relationship.
