Lyrics
When you walked away it was the
Expressing the departure of someone significant
Saddest day the world has known
Highlighting the emotional impact of the departure as extremely sad
Shattered my heart and left me in
Describing the aftermath of the departure, leading to a broken home
Pieces of a broken home
Portraying the aftermath as fragments of a shattered home
Now you say you need me
Acknowledging the other person's need for reconciliation
Standing at the door
Depicting the person standing at the door, possibly seeking forgiveness
Asking if you can come in
Asking for permission to enter or be part of the narrator's life again
And I can’t say no, I can’t say no
Expressing the difficulty in refusing the other person's request
You and I just can’t say goodbye
Highlighting the inability to part ways permanently
Every time we do, well
Indicating that saying goodbye results in more deception
It’s just another lie
Stating that parting is perceived as another falsehood
I know you’re no good for me, but
Acknowledging the awareness of the other person's negative influence
Every time I’m with you there’s
Despite the negativity, expressing the joy of being together
Nowhere I’d rather be
Conveying contentment and satisfaction in the relationship
We’ve been to hell, been burnt by the
Describing past struggles and hardships in the relationship
Flames of a pain so deep that
Emphasizing the intensity of emotional pain experienced
Even the strongest god in the heavens would
Suggesting that even powerful entities would be affected by such pain
Kneel and weep
Using vivid imagery to describe the depth of suffering
But here I lie
Contrasting the past struggles with the present state of lying together
Pressed against your skin
Describing physical proximity and intimacy with the other person
Right where I want to be
Expressing desire and satisfaction with the current closeness
You’re the sweetest sin
Characterizing the relationship as pleasurable but potentially harmful
