Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
If you ony knew what I went through
To get into you, I'd carry on
You lied when you said you cried
When your father died
So I crash and I burn
But that's how I learn
Now I've fallen far below
What I used to know
I have no one to depend on
I'm sold
If he only knew the truth about you
I lied when I said I tried to save you
So I crash and I burn
But that's how I learn
Now I've fallen far below
What I used to know
I have no one to depend on
I'm sold
I'm worth buying
I'm not trying to become someone
I'm worth buying
I'm not trying to become someone
When I know I'm no one
So I crash and I burn
But that's how I learn
Now I've fallen far below
What I used to know
I have no one to depend on
I'm sold
I'm worth buying
I'm not trying to become someone
I'm worth buying
I'm not trying to become someone
When I know I'm no one
To get into you, I'd carry on
You lied when you said you cried
When your father died
So I crash and I burn
But that's how I learn
Now I've fallen far below
What I used to know
I have no one to depend on
I'm sold
If he only knew the truth about you
I lied when I said I tried to save you
So I crash and I burn
But that's how I learn
Now I've fallen far below
What I used to know
I have no one to depend on
I'm sold
I'm worth buying
I'm not trying to become someone
I'm worth buying
I'm not trying to become someone
When I know I'm no one
So I crash and I burn
But that's how I learn
Now I've fallen far below
What I used to know
I have no one to depend on
I'm sold
I'm worth buying
I'm not trying to become someone
I'm worth buying
I'm not trying to become someone
When I know I'm no one
