Lyrics
No trust in me no trust in you
No trust in the speaker, and no trust in the other person.
Turned my back now i'm the fool
The speaker turned their back and now feels foolish for doing so.
Out of all the things I could have wished on you
Expressing regret for the negative things the speaker wished upon the other person.
I wish one day you'll find the truth
Despite the lack of trust, the speaker wishes that the other person finds the truth one day.
Oh i won't lie
A statement acknowledging honesty or sincerity.
I can't afford to lose myself in the crossfire

My shields are up
The speaker has protective barriers or defenses in place.
Won't let you break
The speaker is determined not to let the other person break them.
Me down to the wire
Referring to not allowing the other person to push them to the limit.
To the wire
Reiteration of the commitment not to be pushed to the limit.
You played your cards and you played me wrong
Accusation that the other person played their cards (actions) incorrectly and mistreated the speaker.
No-one left to string along
There is no one else left for the other person to manipulate or deceive.
We used to laugh and cry when we got high
Reflecting on past times of joy and sadness shared during drug use.
Now its an empty house when I drive by
The speaker observes that now, passing by, there's emptiness in the once-shared space.
Oh I won't lie

My shields are up
The protective barriers or defenses of the speaker are still in place.
Won't let you break
Reiterating the determination not to be broken by the other person.
Me down to the wire
Refusing to be pushed to the limit by the other person.
To the wire
