Lyrics
I often wonder why it never could be us
The singer reflects on why a romantic relationship with someone didn't work out.
Is it cause I slit her wrist and left her there to rot
Implies a violent act - the singer slit someone's wrist, leaving the person to decay.
We had our differences and she wanted to part
Describes differences in the relationship leading to a desire to separate.
But I kept some souvenirs to keep her in my heart
The singer kept mementos as a way to hold onto the memory of the person.
And as the night takes over she whispers in the dark
Describes a haunting presence at night, possibly the spirit of the deceased person.
With all the lampshades and necklaces she's never very far
References unusual items like lampshades and necklaces associated with the deceased person.
And as the night takes over she comes into my dreams
The haunting continues in dreams, expressing a wish for a different outcome.
I just wished I had the choice to love and let her live
The singer laments not having the choice to love and allow the person to live.
I often wonder why it never could be us
Repetition of the reflection on the failed relationship.
Is it cause I slit her throat and left her in the mud
Another violent act - the singer slit someone's throat and left the person in the mud.
We had our differences and she wanted to part

But I kept some souvenirs to keep her in my heart

Oh my sweet darling, oh my dear friend

Her very presence still very clear

I remember the look she gave me, filled with love and fear
Recalls a look from the person, showing both love and fear.
I found a way to make her stay

When the night takes over she whispers in the dark

Don't you say goodbye

And while my heart beats faster I hear her laughter
