Lyrics

When you said

Expressing a reference to a past statement or action

What you want to

Describing the content of the statement or desire

And those words

Referring to the impact of certain words

I used to run and hide

Recalling a tendency to avoid or escape from those words

From those words

Highlighting the emotional weight of specific words

That I left

Referring to personal emotions or thoughts left unspoken

On the inside

Describing emotional turmoil kept internally


You don't have to be a long time stranger

Assuring that familiarity is not necessary for understanding

You don't have to be the one behind every door

Emphasizing the absence of a hidden presence


It don't have to be so complicated

Stating that simplicity is an option

Too much information can't take anymore

Expressing a limit to the amount of information one can handle

You don't have to be the one frustrated

Acknowledging that frustration is not obligatory

Too much information can't take anymore

Reiterating the challenge of processing excessive information


At the time

Questioning the thought process at a specific moment

What were you thinking

Seeking understanding of the motivation behind words

When you said

Recalling impactful statements causing emotional distress

The things that made me cry

Highlighting the pain induced by certain words

All the hurt

Referring to emotional suffering left unexpressed

That I left

Describing personal emotions or thoughts left unspoken

On the inside

Expressing internalized emotional turmoil


You don't have to be a long time stranger

Reassuring that unfamiliarity is not a barrier

You don't have to be the one behind every door

Affirming the absence of hidden intentions behind closed doors


It don't have to be so complicated

Advocating for simplicity in communication

Too much information can't take anymore

Stating the threshold for processing information

You don't have to be the one frustrated

Emphasizing the option to avoid frustration

Too much information can't take anymore

Reiterating the challenge of processing excessive information


When you said

Recalling a past statement or desire

What you want to

Describing the content of the statement or desire

And those words

Highlighting the insignificance of certain words

Mean nothing to me

Expressing indifference or lack of emotional connection

All the hurt that

Referring to emotional pain left behind

That I left

Describing personal emotions or thoughts left unspoken

Behind tonight

Highlighting the aftermath of emotional turmoil


You don't have to be a long time stranger

Reassuring that unfamiliarity is not a barrier

You don't have to be the one behind every door

Affirming the absence of hidden intentions behind closed doors


It don't have to be so complicated

Advocating for simplicity in communication

Too much information can't take anymore

Stating the threshold for processing information

You don't have to be the one frustrated

Acknowledging that frustration is not obligatory

Too much information can't take anymore

Reiterating the challenge of processing excessive information
