Lyrics
I figured out that we were both a little broken
Realized that both individuals involved have emotional or psychological wounds.
A sober truth that i would turn away
Admission that a clear, uncomfortable truth was deliberately ignored or avoided.
Trust no one - said your identity was stolen
Advisory to be cautious, indicating a loss of trust due to a stolen or given away identity.
Or maybe you just gave it all away
Speculation that the person might have willingly revealed or compromised their true self.
And no i couldn't be your medicine
The speaker cannot be the solution or cure for the other's issues.
You put me on a pedestal
The other person elevated the speaker's status, perhaps unrealistically.
Nausea started setting in
The speaker feels unease or discomfort.
Forget the hypotheticals
A call to abandon theoretical or speculative discussions.
We've been here before
A recognition of revisiting past situations or conflicts.
It keeps stacking up
Problems or issues are accumulating or piling up.
And it kills me to say it but
An admission that the situation is difficult to acknowledge.
I can't love you when you're on the fence on things
The speaker cannot emotionally invest when the other person is indecisive.
Making decisions never seem to ease
Decisions made don't seem to alleviate or solve underlying tensions.
The tensions you keep
The unresolved conflicts or emotions are causing strain.
In between glasses of alcohol and dramamine
Reference to using substances (alcohol and dramamine) as coping mechanisms.
Staring back at me
Feeling observed or judged by the other person.
And it's starting to make me sick
Emotional distress due to ongoing conflicts or situations.
I can't love you when you're on the fence on things
Reiteration that love or emotional investment is challenging given the other's uncertainty.
Making decisions never seem to ease
Decisions made aren't alleviating the existing issues.
The tensions you keep
The unresolved conflicts or emotions are causing strain.
In between glasses of alcohol and dramamine
Reference to continued reliance on substances as a coping mechanism.
Staring back at me
Feeling observed or judged by the other person.
And it's starting to make me sick
Emotional distress due to ongoing conflicts or situations.
I scare myself by how i think
The speaker's thoughts or feelings frighten them due to their intensity or nature.
Text back i'm fine when i can't breathe
The speaker pretends to be okay despite struggling internally.
Introspections a violent obsession
Deep self-examination becomes aggressive or troubling.
I'm too good at a lack of expression
The speaker has become adept at hiding or suppressing their feelings.
I'm told it hurts me to be too alone
Being too isolated or detached can be harmful, as suggested by others.
But i can't be perfect - that's an anecdote
Perfection isn't attainable; it's a flawed belief.
I'm done trying
The speaker decides to stop pretending or hiding.
To disguise it
No longer attempting to hide or mask feelings.
Another tie cut loose in the wind
Another relationship or connection has been severed.
And no i couldn't be your medicine
Reiteration that the speaker cannot be a solution or cure for the other's issues.
You put me on a pedestal
The other person elevates the speaker, possibly unrealistically.
Nausea started setting in
Feeling of discomfort or unease intensifies.
Forget the hypotheticals
Call to avoid hypothetical or speculative discussions.
We've been here before
Recognition of revisiting past situations or conflicts.
It keeps stacking up
Issues or conflicts continue to accumulate.
And it kills me to say it but
Admission of the difficulty of the situation.
I can't love you when you're on the fence on things
Emotional investment is challenging due to the other person's indecisiveness.
Making decisions never seem to ease
Decisions made aren't alleviating the existing issues.
The tensions you keep
The unresolved conflicts or emotions are causing strain.

Reference to continued reliance on substances as a coping mechanism.
