Lyrics
Every time she's overthinking
Expressing that she tends to overthink frequently.
You're always by her side
Addressing someone who is consistently supportive and present for her.
Don't know what to do to help her
Feeling helpless about how to assist her in overcoming her overthinking.
You're always in my way
Perceiving someone as an obstacle or hindrance.
Take my heart
Symbolically offering one's heart.
And burn it up
Expressing a desire for emotional pain or detachment.
Cuz I don't want to feel
Choosing not to experience emotions if that person is absent.
If you're not with us
Stating the emotional importance of the person's presence.
Tear out my eyes
Symbolically expressing a willingness to sacrifice one's sight.
Cuz I don't want to see
Preferably avoiding witnessing a world without the person.
A world without you there
Appealing to a higher power to protect her from negative influences.
Lord please, leave her alone
An earnest plea to keep the person safe and undisturbed.
You're always there when she's got tears
Acknowledging the person's consistent presence during emotional moments.
Dripping down her face
Describing the impact of tears on her face.
You make her feel like she's so helpless
Attributing a sense of helplessness to the person's influence.
You couldn't be more wrong
Contradicting the perception of her weakness, asserting strength.
It doesn't know how strong you are
Highlighting the person's unknown appreciation for her strength.
It doesn't get your fire inside
Not recognizing the inner strength and passion within her.
So
A transitional line connecting the previous and following verses.
Take my heart
Symbolically offering the heart again, repeating the desire for detachment.
And burn it up
Reiterating the emotional desire not to feel without the person.
Cuz I don't want to feel
Emphasizing the emotional void in the person's absence.
If you're not with us
Expressing a willingness to lose the ability to see if she's not present.
Tear out my eyes
Avoiding witnessing a world without her through self-sacrifice.
Cuz I don't want to see
Repeating the preference not to see a world lacking her presence.
A world without you there
Echoing the plea for divine intervention to protect her solitude.
Lord please, leave her alone
A final plea to let her be undisturbed by external influences.
