Lyrics
How can I let you go if you're still here?
Expressing difficulty in letting go of someone who is still physically present.
Hanging onto a thread with every step that I take
Describing a precarious situation, holding onto a fragile connection with each step taken.
Hold me then leave as you please, like I'm yours to keep
Asking to be held but acknowledging the possibility of being left, feeling like someone's possession.
My heart you use & bruise, some habits are rooted too deep
Noting the emotional impact of being used and hurt, hinting at entrenched habits.
But if this was in reverse
Contemplating an alternate scenario or perspective.
Tell me this isn't a curse?
Questioning if the current situation is a curse when imagined in reverse.
If this was in reverse
Repeating the question about the perceived curse in a reflective manner.
Tell me this isn't a curse?
Reiterating the inquiry about the nature of the relationship when reversed.
To be in love with you
Acknowledging the experience of being in love with the person in question.
To be in love
Reflecting on the general concept and state of being in love.
How can I let you go if you won't let me?
Expressing difficulty in letting go when the other person is resistant.
Heaven knows we try but you & I are not meant to be
Recognizing that despite efforts, the speaker and the person are not destined to be together.
Half a life; half a lie, caught in a never-ending
Describing a sense of incomplete or deceptive existence, trapped in an ongoing situation.
Like a house of cards hopelessly tumbling down
Using the metaphor of a collapsing house of cards to depict the fragility of hope.
But if this was in reverse
Repeating the inquiry about the perceived curse in a reflective manner.
Tell me this isn't a curse?
Questioning if the current situation is a curse when imagined in reverse.
If this was in reverse
Reiterating the inquiry about the nature of the relationship when reversed.
Tell me this isn't a curse?
Repeating the question about the perceived curse in a reflective manner.
To be in love with you
Acknowledging the experience of being in love with the person in question.
To be in love
Reflecting on the general concept and state of being in love.
