Lyrics
If I had a choice in this then I would not choose you
If given a choice, the speaker wouldn't choose the person addressed
You disappoint me every time and know I mean that too
Expressing disappointment with the addressed person
I really think the time alone could do my head some good
Suggesting that time alone would be beneficial for the speaker
I wanna try forgetting bout the place where we both stood
Desire to forget the past and move on
Used to be a mess combined and now we're separate wrecks
Formerly a troubled couple, now individually struggling
Kept each other's blood in vials that hung around our necks
Symbolic reference to keeping memories (blood in vials)
Long way back baby I'm not certain
Expressing uncertainty about the journey back to a better state
If my presence being here is just a burden
Questioning if the speaker's presence is a burden
Say it is ain't that the truth
Acknowledging a difficult truth
Thank god I'm hardly next to you
Grateful for not being close to the addressed person
Wait until I find you here
A promise to confront the addressed person
I promise you'll be steering clear
Assurance that the addressed person will be avoided
Long time now maybe I'm not hurting
Reflecting on a long period of not feeling hurt
If existing was a show then pull the curtain
Suggesting life is like a performance, considering ending it
Say it was then I would quit
If life was a show, expressing a desire to quit
I'd thank myself for doing it
Thankful for the decision to end the show
Stay for what don't get the point
Questioning the purpose, not understanding why to stay
There wasn't much that I enjoyed
Little enjoyment in the past
If I had a say in this then I would not say you
If given a say, the speaker wouldn't speak about the person
They watch afar the both of us ain't caring what they do
Observers are indifferent to the speaker and the person
I really think the miles apart could really do no harm
Believing physical distance can prevent harm
I wanna try forgetting bout the bruises on our arms
Expressing a desire to forget physical and emotional scars
Used to be a total mess but now we've broke in two
Describing the transformation from a complete mess to separation
I hope one day it's working out I know you're hoping too
Hoping for a positive outcome in the future
Long way back baby I'm not certain
Continued uncertainty about the journey back
If my presence being here is just a burden
Questioning if the speaker's presence is a continuing burden
Say it is ain't that the truth
Acknowledging a challenging truth
Thank god I'm hardly next to you
Grateful for the physical distance from the addressed person
Wait until I find you here
Anticipation of a confrontation with the addressed person
I promise you'll be steering clear
Reiterating the assurance of avoiding the addressed person
Long time now maybe I'm not hurting
Reflecting on a long period of not feeling hurt
If existing was a show then pull the curtain
Suggesting life is like a performance, considering ending it
Say it was then I would quit
If life was a show, expressing a desire to quit
I'd thank myself for doing it
Thankful for the decision to end the show
Stay for what don't get the point
Questioning the purpose, not understanding why to stay
There wasn't much that I enjoyed
Little enjoyment in the past
