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"
The silence breaks she screams she cries
Her mouth bleeds the name of her lover falls on deaf ears
He pulls her hair holds her close whispers in her ear
You can not run from me my dear you are my one true lover
You can not run from me my dear
You are my one true love you can not run nowhere to run
And I will watch you choke choke I watch you choke
A breathless gasp as his hands grip her
Choke I watch you choke a breathless gasp his hands grip her
And I will watch you choke she'll never be
More than a sick obsession she'll never be
The girl you wanted wanted her to be her to be
His warm hard breath on cold white skin
A shiver down her spine Tells her she's still alive
The silence breaks he screams he cries
His mouth bleeds the name of his lover falls on deaf ears
Silence breaks
Her mouth bleeds the name of her lover falls on deaf ears
He pulls her hair holds her close whispers in her ear
You can not run from me my dear you are my one true lover
You can not run from me my dear
You are my one true love you can not run nowhere to run
And I will watch you choke choke I watch you choke
A breathless gasp as his hands grip her
Choke I watch you choke a breathless gasp his hands grip her
And I will watch you choke she'll never be
More than a sick obsession she'll never be
The girl you wanted wanted her to be her to be
His warm hard breath on cold white skin
A shiver down her spine Tells her she's still alive
The silence breaks he screams he cries
His mouth bleeds the name of his lover falls on deaf ears
Silence breaks
