Lyrics
Sorry I let you down
Expressing regret for disappointing someone
But you're free of my quiet now
The person is now liberated from the singer's silence or emotional burden
I traded love for a wilted crown
Choosing a damaged or faded symbol of authority over love
But she won't let you drown
Despite the choice, someone else (she) prevents the listener from suffering
And maybe one day will come
Hoping for a future when the singer will miss the listener more
When I miss you more than you miss me
Questioning if the listener misses the singer as much as the singer misses them
Do you miss me?
Directly asking if the listener misses the singer
Words that burn and peel away your skin
Words causing emotional pain and harm
And make your veins run cold
Words causing extreme discomfort or fear
Too close to let go
Being emotionally too connected to detach easily
Sometimes, my dear, things fall apart now
Recognizing that sometimes things fall apart
Lovers will breakdown
Love relationships experience breakdowns
Stained hands let go of ones that are clean
Acknowledging letting go of something good for something lesser
This time my dear, I just have to leave now
The singer acknowledges the necessity of leaving this time
Goodbyes will rain down
Farewells will happen or be abundant
I love you so, but now you are clean
The singer loves the listener but acknowledges their cleanliness, maybe from the singer's influence
You can rest now your tired eyes
Encouraging the listener to find peace by closing their tired eyes
Born again right by her side
Rebirth or renewal happening beside another person
I'm sorry for my hurtful
Apologizing for causing hurt
Words that burn and peel away your skin
Repetition of words causing emotional harm
And make your veins run cold
Words causing extreme discomfort or fear
Too much to let go
Emotionally too invested to easily detach
Sometimes, my dear, things fall apart now
Reiteration of acknowledging things falling apart
Lovers will breakdown
Reiterating the breakdown of love relationships
Stained hands let go of ones that are clean
Letting go of purity or goodness for something lesser
This time my dear, I just have to leave now
Recognizing the necessity of leaving again
Goodbyes will rain down
Expecting or experiencing numerous farewells
I love you so, but now you are clean
Expressing love while acknowledging the listener's cleanliness
And maybe one day will come
Hoping for a future when the singer will be missed more
When I miss you more than you miss me
Questioning if the listener misses the singer as much as the singer misses them
Do you miss me?
Directly asking if the listener misses the singer
Words that burn and peel away your skin
Words causing emotional pain and harm
And make your veins run cold
Words causing extreme discomfort or fear
Too close to let go
Emotionally too connected to detach easily
Too close to let go
Highlighting the difficulty of detachment due to emotional closeness
Too close to let go
Reiteration of the difficulty in detaching due to emotional closeness
