Lyrics
The sun sets down over you and me
The setting sun symbolizes the end of something significant between "you and me."
You say I should feel pain I say I feel relief
There's a disagreement about emotions—while one suggests feeling pain, the other feels relief.
Everybody I know tells me the same
The speaker receives consistent advice or opinions from everyone they know.
If I were to forgive you I should be to blame
Forgiving would make the speaker responsible or at fault.
40 days and 40 nights are wasted time
40 days and nights have passed without progress or value.
And you love to take your time
The person referenced takes their time in actions or decisions.
You can't seem to shake the tingling in your spine
A persistent sensation, possibly discomfort or fear, affects the person.
This melancholy house is what's been keeping me alive
The speaker finds solace in a melancholic environment, which is paradoxically life-sustaining.
To forgive is to forget I will not forget you
Forgiving is equated with forgetting, but the speaker refuses to forget the other person.
Cause if I do how will I regret you
Forgetting would eliminate the possibility of regretting the relationship.
Pins and needles you sit on, they break your skin
Pins and needles, possibly symbolic of discomfort, break the skin.
Just like leaves rip from trees and blow away in the wind
A comparison is drawn between the detachment of leaves from trees and a relationship ending.
You disown me now so I will deny you when it count
Being disowned prompts the speaker to deny the other person when it truly matters.
Tell me lies so I don't eat your heart out
The other person feeds the speaker lies to avoid emotional pain.
You can't seem to shake the tingling in your spine

This melancholy house is what's been keeping me alive

Cause if I do how will I regret you

My glass is empty you fill it with gasoline

But I've been burned too many times I don't feel a thing
The speaker has experienced too much pain to be affected by the destructive actions anymore.
You tear my heart in two, what was I supposed to do
A heartbreaking action is taken by the other person, leaving the speaker with limited choices.
I didn't know that loving you was the last thing I'd ever do

You can't seem to shake the tingling in your spine
