Lyrics
Help me i'm falling into space
Feeling lost and overwhelmed, possibly in a relationship or emotionally.
I am drowning in your face
Experiencing a sense of suffocation or being overwhelmed by the other person.
Oh please don't say you know how this feels
Pleading for understanding, asking the other person not to claim they understand the situation.
Oh, please don't say you care what I reveal
Requesting the other person not to pretend to care about what the speaker reveals.
You will say that people know

And I will say that they don't try
Asserting that people don't genuinely try to understand the speaker's situation.
And you will say that people hurt
Pointing out that people cause harm, possibly in the context of the disagreement.
And all I say that people do is
Claiming that all people do is lie, emphasizing a lack of sincerity.
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Repeatedly emphasizing the theme of dishonesty with the phrase "Lie, lie, lie."
Lie, lie, lie
-Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
-Lie, lie, lie
-Help me i'm falling down to Earth
Expressing a metaphorical fall or decline, possibly due to the absence of the other person.
I am losing my self worth
Feeling a loss of self-worth in the absence of the other person.
Since you went away how can I survive

Since you went away i can't be alive
Stating that life feels unfulfilling without the other person.
And you will say that people laugh

And I will say they never cry
Denying that people ever cry, possibly highlighting emotional insensitivity.
And you will say that people choose
Contrasting the idea that people make genuine choices, implying a lack of control.
And all I say that people do is
Reiterating the belief that people primarily lie and deceive.
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Repeating the phrase "Lie, lie, lie" to emphasize the pervasive dishonesty.
Lie, lie, lie
-Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
-Lie, lie, lie
-Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
-Lie, lie, lie
-Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
-Lie, lie, lie There's nothing to
-But tell me what you
