With or Without You

it kind of sounds like when you get anxious for no reason and then you calm down and it's fine and then you get anxious again and when it happens for a year every day and you get used to it even though it makes you miserable. so that when it isn't there it feels like there is nothing left. 'see the stone set in your eyes see the thorn twist in side I wait for you' when you aren't anxious and the anxiousness just refuses to take over and you are waiting for it. 'sleight of hand and twist of fate on a bed of nails she makes me wait and I wait without you' one day the anxiousness just isn't there and you can that something isn't right as soon as you wake up. 'through the storm we reach the shore you give it all but I want more and waiting for you' after a day of anxiousness that just won't stop there is nothing left the next day and you just feel nothing. 'and you give yourself away' when you're anxious it's like your talking to yourself in your own mind and you know that the anxiousness is stopping you from functioning and you are not rising to your full potential because are avoiding situations. 'I can't live with or without you' you can't live with the anxiousness because it is horrible and you just can't function and without it there is just nothing you can't function like that anyways. 'my hands are ties my body bruised she's got me with nothing to win and nothing left to lose' you don't know what to do because you have no control over the anxiousness or the nothingness and it feels like there is nothing else. 'my body bruised' could be that you feel like you've been hurt by all this emotionally or that it's physical bruising because of punching walls from the anger at not knowing what to do about it or a distraction from the problem disguised as anger either to others or to yourself. 'and you give yourself away' you isolate yourself because when you are anxious you might be avoiding people or situations and your thoughts are too fast to control that they feel like they are not your own. when you are not anxious and feeling nothing you don't want be around people or do anything for that matter and are blaming yourself for everything. you think you've given yourself away and that you are not close enough to anyone tell them about it. 'I can't live with or without you' you still can't live with or without the anxiousness. just so everyone knows, this is only very certain circumstances and not everyone who gets anxious has this happen to them. this is just my thoughts on the song.
