Lyrics
Before my bones return to stone I think there's something you should know
Expressing a sense of urgency or impending change before becoming emotionally hardened.
I feel my world unfold Every single time you turn to go
Feeling a profound impact every time the person being addressed leaves.
And I realise now that I'm having my cake and I'm eating it
Awareness of enjoying the benefits of a situation but acknowledging emotional conflict.
But I'd be lying if I said it wasn't breaking my heart just a little bit
Admitting that the current situation is emotionally painful despite the apparent benefits.
I'm just letting you know
A statement signaling the intention to share important information.
I'd tear my heart out for you
Expressing a willingness to endure great emotional pain for the person addressed.
When you get cold
Suggesting vulnerability and a readiness to endure difficulties for the person.
You can paint me black and blue
Acceptance of enduring both emotional and physical pain for the sake of the relationship.
And she said that "you should go"
Advice or suggestion from someone, possibly indicating a troubled relationship.
Cause I'm only gonna make it worse
Recognition of personal contribution to worsening the situation despite good intentions.
I try to take control and I cut my tongue on the words
Attempting to assert control but facing unintended consequences, symbolized by self-inflicted harm.
Do you really not think that we should be together?
Pleading for consideration of being together.
And do you really not think that this could last forever?
Expressing a desire for the relationship to be lasting and enduring.
I'm just letting you know, I'd tear my heart out for you
Reiteration of willingness to endure significant emotional pain for the person addressed.
When you get cold, You can paint me black and blue
Reaffirmation of readiness to endure physical pain for the sake of the relationship.
I'm just letting you know, I'd tear my heart out for you
Reiteration of willingness to endure significant emotional pain for the person addressed.
When you get cold, You can paint me black and blue.
Reaffirmation of readiness to endure physical pain for the sake of the relationship.
Why do you try so hard to tear out my heart?
Raising a question about the intent behind causing emotional pain.
And then you laugh in my face when it falls apart again
Highlighting the emotional response of laughter when the relationship falls apart.
Then you build it up in the gorgeous way you always do
Recognizing the pattern of building and destroying the relationship in a captivating manner.
Press my buttons, I'm foaming at the mouth for you
Expressing heightened emotional response or agitation triggered by the person.
I'm just letting you know
Reiteration of the willingness to endure significant emotional pain for the person addressed.
I'd tear my heart out for you
Reaffirmation of readiness to endure physical pain for the sake of the relationship.
When you get cold
Reiteration of the willingness to endure significant emotional pain for the person addressed.
You can paint me black and blue
Reaffirmation of readiness to endure physical pain for the sake of the relationship.
