Lyrics

My body’s bleeding

Expressing emotional pain and vulnerability through the metaphor of bleeding.

More than you could ever know

Highlighting the depth of the emotional suffering, beyond what others may understand.

I’m tired of you keeping

Frustration with someone for holding onto something while the speaker is letting go.

While I'm letting all important things go

An acknowledgment of prioritizing less important things over important ones.

You say you're good for me, come over

Invitation for the person to be there for the speaker.

But don’t stay too long

A warning not to overstay in the speaker's life.

Won’t think about you any longer

Deciding not to dwell on thoughts of the person any longer.

I'm drowning on my own

Feeling overwhelmed and struggling alone.

Maybe you hide in the clouds

Suspecting the person is avoiding facing reality or difficulties.

'Cause who’s behind? No one knows

Uncertainty about who is responsible or accountable.

Please stop making me those hopes, my my

Pleading for the person to stop giving false hope.

I'm drowning in those hopes

Being immersed in the disappointment and unrealized expectations.

I’m going crazy

Expressing a sense of losing mental stability due to the situation.

About the things, you’re telling me

Feeling overwhelmed by the information or messages from the person.

I want you to promise

Desiring a commitment or assurance from the person.

That you ain’t lying to me baby

Seeking honesty and transparency in the relationship.

You say you're good for me, come over

Repeating the invitation for the person to be there.

But don’t stay too long

Reiterating the need for the person not to stay too long.

Won’t think about you any longer

Deciding to avoid thinking about the person to move on.

I’m drowning on my own

Continuing to struggle and feel overwhelmed independently.

Maybe you hide in the clouds

Suspecting the person is avoiding responsibility or consequences.

'Cause who’s behind? No one knows

Uncertainty about who is behind the challenges or issues.

Please stop making me those hopes, my my

Reiterating the plea to stop creating false expectations.

I need you to hold me tonight

Expressing a need for emotional support and comfort.

'Cause I want to

Expressing a desire to be held, suggesting a need for emotional connection.

I’m drowning, I’m drowning, I'm drowning

Repeating the feeling of being overwhelmed and struggling.

Yeah I need you to hold me tonight

Reiterating the need for emotional support and connection.

'Cause I want to

Expressing the desire for emotional connection and comfort.

I’m drowning, I’m drowning, I'm drowning

Repeating the feeling of drowning, emphasizing the emotional struggle.

I'm drowning in those hopes

Emphasizing the immersion in unfulfilled hopes and expectations.
