Drown

Just my thoughts-

Well I'm so tired of the rain Falling softly on the ground Just enough to get my feet wet But not enough to let me drown

(He's saying he wants to die, symbolically, maybe. He is saying the rain is teasing him by just getting his feet wet, when he really wants to drown.)

I've been laying in my bed Wishing I had never woken Begging God to rid my head Of every word you've ever spoken

(Basically self-explanatory. He's heartbroken, trying to forget about this girl.)

Broke my knuckles on the wall Because I thought about the call Where you said you'd always love me Do you not tell the truth at all?

(He remembers when she called him and broke his heart, and she said shed always love him in the call. He's mad because he doesn't believe that she ever loved him, so he punches a wall.)

Well if I ever cross your mind Make sure you write down the times So I will know the moments I was eating you alive

(He wants to know when or if she feels guilty about hurting him.)

And now I lay here Waiting with the hope that I might find some sleep I need some sleep tonight 'cause I've been waiting on your call But I know it will never come But I'm still waiting by the phone

(He's laying in bed waiting to fall asleep. He hopes that she will call him, even though in his heart he knows she won't.)

And don't you dare (don't you dare) Say you ever loved me Or even tell me that you cared

(He believes that she was/is lying when she says she cared for him and loved him.)

'cause you knew what you were doing And you know just what you've done

(He thinks that she knows exactly what she did when she broke his heart, and she shouldn't act innocent.)

How dare you say you miss me With your spit still on his tongue

(She's been telling him she misses him, even though she's been kissing another man.)

I am broken I am beaten I'm mistreated and I'm torn I am cold with no direction But I'm lost without your warmth

(He's very hurt, but at the same time he doesn't know how to live without this girl.)

I'm trying hard to find some hope That I might get the chance to breathe Get off my mind, give back my heart And get the fuck away from me

(He's trying to get over her. He's telling her to get off his mind give back his heart, and to leave him alone.)

I know I couldn't give you much But I know I gave my best You were always my princess And now he's sliding up your dress

(He really tried to be there for her and care about her, but it didn't mean anything to her. She's already off sleeping with someone else.)

And I know I gave the world Everything I've ever had Johnny Cash said love would burn I never thought it'd hurt this bad

(He again is saying he gave all he had, and he didn't realize heartbreak would be so painful. He is also referencing a Jonny Cash song.)

Well I'm so tired of the rain Falling softly on the ground Just enough to get my feet wet But not enough to let me drown

I've been laying in my bed Wishing I had never woken Begging God to rid my head Of every word you've ever spoken

Broke my knuckles on the wall Because I thought about the call Where you said you'd always love me Do you not tell the truth at all?

Well if I ever cross your mind Make sure you write down the times So I will know the moments I was eating you alive

You are the itch that's on my back You are the gum under my shoe You are the horrors of my past You are the chill that haunts the room

You are the creaking on my steps You are cancer, you are plague You are regret, you are disease I wish that you would go away

(He's saying she's a nuisance, that he doesn't want her around, and that all she does is hurt him.)
