This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
You're hypnotized, can't see the signs
I'd like to help you, but I think it's too late
Made up your mind and now you're blind
I guess it's easier than making mistakes
Don't ask me why then roll your eyes at the answer
You want to fight, but I won't bite at the page
And I'ma try and change your eyes to the pain
'Cause I will tell you
So don't tell me what I can't see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe
You'll see it, you'll see it
You'll see it when you believe
You'll see it, you'll see it
And you'll see it when you believe
Give me a break 'cause I can't take
Another second, you're a fucking addict
I need the time to change your mind
How can I move you when you're stuck in your ways
Don't ask me why then roll your eyes at the answer
You want to fight, but I don't bite on the bait
And I'm not tryin' to change your eyes from the pain
I'm just saying, no I'm just saying
Don't come crawling back to me when you break down
'Cause you dug yourself into this hole all by yourself
Don't come crawling back to me when you break down
You can find somebody else
So don't tell me what I can't see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe
So don't tell me what I can't see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe
You'll see it, you'll see it
You'll see it when you believe
You'll see it, you'll see it
And you'll see it when you believe
Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to slit my wrists and play in my own blood
Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to kill myself just for the fucking fun
Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to slit my wrists and play in my own blood
Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to kill myself just for the fucking fun
So don't tell me what I can't see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe
And you'll see it when you believe
I'd like to help you, but I think it's too late
Made up your mind and now you're blind
I guess it's easier than making mistakes
Don't ask me why then roll your eyes at the answer
You want to fight, but I won't bite at the page
And I'ma try and change your eyes to the pain
'Cause I will tell you
So don't tell me what I can't see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe
You'll see it, you'll see it
You'll see it when you believe
You'll see it, you'll see it
And you'll see it when you believe
Give me a break 'cause I can't take
Another second, you're a fucking addict
I need the time to change your mind
How can I move you when you're stuck in your ways
Don't ask me why then roll your eyes at the answer
You want to fight, but I don't bite on the bait
And I'm not tryin' to change your eyes from the pain
I'm just saying, no I'm just saying
Don't come crawling back to me when you break down
'Cause you dug yourself into this hole all by yourself
Don't come crawling back to me when you break down
You can find somebody else
So don't tell me what I can't see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe
So don't tell me what I can't see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe
You'll see it, you'll see it
You'll see it when you believe
You'll see it, you'll see it
And you'll see it when you believe
Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to slit my wrists and play in my own blood
Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to kill myself just for the fucking fun
Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to slit my wrists and play in my own blood
Yeah, hell yeah
You make me want to kill myself just for the fucking fun
So don't tell me what I can't see
'Cause we both know it's you, not me
You don't want this but it's what you need
And you'll see it when you believe
And you'll see it when you believe

It's a commentary on what happened with Oli's addiction, and how the people that really cared stayed even though he was pushing them away, but sort of written from both Oli's and the rest of the bands perspective, almost like a conversation.
