Lyrics
Everybody's got a chain that they need to break
People carry burdens or issues that they need to overcome or release.
We're all holding onto something we don't need
We all cling to things that are unnecessary or detrimental in our lives.
Some people always give less than they take
Some individuals consistently give less than they receive from others.
And they're the first to tell you what they need
Those who take more than they give are often vocal about their own needs.
Should've seen it out on the horizon
The speaker might have seen problems or issues coming, but fear prevented acknowledgment.
But maybe I was just too afraid to look
The speaker may have avoided facing the impending issues.
And I tried to hold you like a lover
The speaker tried to maintain a romantic connection, but it ended in betrayal.
But you broke me just like a crook
The relationship ended with the speaker feeling betrayed, similar to a victim of a crime.
I picked up the pieces that were shattered
The speaker worked to heal from the broken relationship.
And I laid red roses on your door
A symbolic gesture of reconciliation, offering red roses at the door.
Now it's like it never even mattered
The effort to reconcile seems futile as if it never mattered to the other person.
Tell me is this all you wanted me for
The speaker questions the true intentions of the other person in the relationship.
Now I'm standing here holding onto nothing
The speaker finds themselves with nothing after the other person walks away.
While you just smiled and walked away
The other person leaves without remorse, while the speaker is left with nothing.
Like I'm just some casual acquaintance
The relationship is treated casually, as if the speaker is insignificant.
That you just met somewhere on the way
The other person treats the speaker as if they are a random encounter, not someone significant.
Just like some schoolyard crush you flattered
The other person initially flattered the speaker, but that fades when it's no longer needed.
Till you didn't need it anymore
The relationship is discarded once the other person no longer finds it beneficial.
Now I'm left here stitching all the tatters
The speaker is left to deal with the aftermath and repair the damage.
Tell me is this all you wanted me for
The speaker questions if their value was solely based on what they could provide.
I'm here with all the pieces you left scattered
The speaker is left to pick up and deal with the emotional aftermath of the broken relationship.
Just strung out and stranded on the floor
The speaker feels abandoned and helpless, surrounded by the remnants of the relationship.
I guess it never even mattered
The speaker reflects on the relationship and questions if it ever truly mattered.
Tell me is this all you wanted me for
The speaker seeks confirmation on whether their worth was reduced to what they could offer.
