Lyrics
She's looking for attention at the bottom of a broken heart
Expresses that she seeks attention in the aftermath of a heartbreak.
Little does she know that she's tearing me apart
Highlights the singer's emotional pain caused by her actions.
Wish I had known what to do or say
Regrets not knowing how to prevent her desire to leave.
Without making her want to walk away
Expresses a desire to avoid pushing her away inadvertently.
At least now I can say I finally see the truth
Realization that the person is the cause of feeling used.
You are the reason that I'm feeling used
Acknowledges that the individual is the source of feeling used.
Who would've known that those lips I loved to kiss
Reflects on the irony that the once-beloved lips now cause harm.
Would be the ones that tried to sink my ship
Expresses betrayal by the same lips that once brought joy.
You're killing me but I love the pain
Acknowledges the contradictory pain of being hurt by someone they love.
I don't wanna stay the same but too scared to change
Expresses a desire for change but fear of the unknown.
I'm looking to feel nothing at all
Expresses a desire to numb emotions and forget the person.
And forget her name
Desire to erase memories associated with the person.
I fell asleep to the sound of the siren singing
Describes falling asleep to the melancholy sound of a siren.
I fell in love with the waves now I think I'm sinking
Narrates falling in love with something beautiful but destructive.
And when I started to drown you said
Refers to the moment when the relationship started to fail.
"Don't worry about going down, that's just what they call swimming"
Downplays the struggle, suggesting it's just a part of the journey.
You're killing me but I love the pain
Reiterates the painful paradox of being hurt by someone loved.
I don't wanna stay the same but too scared to change
Expresses a desire for change but fear of the unknown.
I'm looking to feel nothing at all
Expresses a desire to become emotionally numb.
And forget her name
Repeats the desire to forget the person and associated emotions.
Now I have to try and convince myself
Expresses the need to rationalize and accept the breakup.
Why you leaving me was the best thing for me
Reflects on the positive aspect of the breakup for personal growth.
And now I'm ready to stop saying goodbye
Expresses readiness to overcome the cycle of goodbyes.
To stop saying goodbye
Repeats the resolve to stop saying goodbye.
To stop saying goodbye
Further emphasis on the commitment to stop saying goodbye.
To stop saying goodbye
Continues the repetition of the commitment to end farewells.
To stop saying goodbye
Reiterates the resolve to break the cycle of goodbyes.
To stop saying goodbye
Final repetition of the commitment to stop saying goodbye.
