make it hurt and make it worse
Seeking intense emotional experiences, even if painful.
I'm outside staring at your door
Being in an external position, observing someone's entrance.
Wondering if you'll ever want me more
Questioning the likelihood of gaining increased affection.
Tell me how it feels to be
Inquiring about the emotional experience of being something enduring.
Anything but Temporary
Desiring a relationship or connection that is not temporary.
I'm grabbing hold of everything
Actively holding onto various aspects of life or a relationship.

Being exposed to the elements, possibly metaphorical rain.
Trying to think
Engaging in contemplation under difficult circumstances.

Recalling positive memories of the person's skin.

Conveying a sense of suffering and deterioration on a daily basis.
Walk away
Deciding to leave or distance oneself.

Tell me how it feels to be
Reiterating the desire for a connection beyond temporariness.

Choosing to detach from everything and experiencing a gradual decline.
Die a little every day
Conveying a sense of suffering and deterioration on a daily basis.
Walk away
Deciding to leave or distance oneself.
