[Verse 1]
You want something inside me to break
I'll give you the pieces to throw away (Oh, we know)
How this ends for me, my love
[Pre-Chorus]
That's just the way
That's just the way you want it
That's just a way
That's just a way for you to keep me down
[Chorus]
So don't you say a word, don't go to sleep
Your bleeding heart consumes me
I'm fucked up enough, no sympathy
So close, it hurts to kill me
To kill me
[Verse 2]
Leave me alone
'Cause I'm the last one you need to provoke
I'm way too proud to give the answers you want
I've found you out and you know it now
I feel it tear me up
This is goodbye, my love
[Pre-Chorus]
That's just the way you want it
That's just the way
That's just a way for you to keep me down
[Chorus]
So don't you say a word, don't go to sleep
Your bleeding heart consumes me
I'm fucked up enough, no sympathy
So close, it hurts to kill me
[Bridge]
And we lose everything we love (When the truth comes out)
And we don't surrender, we're broken enough
We say anything that we want
You're gonna hear me out
If it kills me now, kills me now
[Chorus]
So don't you say a word, don't go to sleep
Your bleeding heart consumes me
I'm fucked up enough, no sympathy
So close, it hurts to kill me
You want something inside me to break
I'll give you the pieces to throw away (Oh, we know)
How this ends for me, my love
That's just the way
That's just the way you want it
That's just a way
That's just a way for you to keep me down
So don't you say a word, don't go to sleep
Your bleeding heart consumes me
I'm fucked up enough, no sympathy
So close, it hurts to kill me
To kill me
Leave me alone
'Cause I'm the last one you need to provoke
I'm way too proud to give the answers you want
I've found you out and you know it now
I feel it tear me up
This is goodbye, my love
That's just the way you want it
That's just the way
That's just a way for you to keep me down
So don't you say a word, don't go to sleep
Your bleeding heart consumes me
I'm fucked up enough, no sympathy
So close, it hurts to kill me
And we lose everything we love (When the truth comes out)
And we don't surrender, we're broken enough
We say anything that we want
You're gonna hear me out
If it kills me now, kills me now
So don't you say a word, don't go to sleep
Your bleeding heart consumes me
I'm fucked up enough, no sympathy
So close, it hurts to kill me

This to me is about the agonizing dissolve of a tumultuous relationship that is so toxic that it feels like one is killing the other.
