So you came like a missile
Falling on my head with the black sky
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Then you came with your breeze blocks
Smashing up my face like a bus stop
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Like the drunk you convinced was sober
You keep me falling over
In the daylight
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
With the best of intentions
You tried to give an ocean directions
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
So you came like a missile
Leaving me the whole world in exile
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Like the drunk you convinced was sober
You keep me falling over
In the daylight
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Falling on my head with the black sky
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Then you came with your breeze blocks
Smashing up my face like a bus stop
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Like the drunk you convinced was sober
You keep me falling over
In the daylight
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
With the best of intentions
You tried to give an ocean directions
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
So you came like a missile
Leaving me the whole world in exile
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Like the drunk you convinced was sober
You keep me falling over
In the daylight
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away

I think there's a few things this song could be about.
First of all it could be about drug addiction or alcholism. They think the whole process of getting completely fucked up to forget about the bad things in their life is helping them - but it's actually "taking their life away."
The second thing is that it could be about parents. This is actually my mums idea, but I'm sure she won't mind me taking it. Parents always tell you "everything will be ok" and shield you from things because they think it will make you feel better but in the long run it actually makes you worse, and you end up resenting them for not being honest with you.
And the last one - it could just be about a romantic relationship.
