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"
Watch me with your eyes
Been giving God a bit of fire
I want to be just like you
Then I'd be cool, maybe not, but
We lift our eyes, big surprise
Kiss me goodbye, whore
Without you being here
I'll be giving fear a bit more
I wish I could feel like you
When I fuck like you, a bit sore, but
We lift our eyes, big surprise
Kiss me goodbye, and then you
Burn all that you worked for
Every knuckle wiped into her
I know we're fucking monsters
I will never get what I want
(Inside of her)
This gift of mine
Resing, restring, unwind
My eyes are closed
A part of me gets pissed, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets pissed, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets pissed, a part of me gets sore
(And then she)
Burns all that you worked for
Every knuckle wiped into her
I know we're fucking monsters
I will never get what I want
(Inside of her)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets
(Inside of her)
A part of me gets sore, a part of me gets sick (sore, sick)
A part of me gets sore, a part of me gets sick (sore, sick)
A part of me gets sore, a part of me gets sick (sore, sick)
A part of me gets so fucking sick
Been giving God a bit of fire
I want to be just like you
Then I'd be cool, maybe not, but
We lift our eyes, big surprise
Kiss me goodbye, whore
Without you being here
I'll be giving fear a bit more
I wish I could feel like you
When I fuck like you, a bit sore, but
We lift our eyes, big surprise
Kiss me goodbye, and then you
Burn all that you worked for
Every knuckle wiped into her
I know we're fucking monsters
I will never get what I want
(Inside of her)
This gift of mine
Resing, restring, unwind
My eyes are closed
A part of me gets pissed, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets pissed, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets pissed, a part of me gets sore
(And then she)
Burns all that you worked for
Every knuckle wiped into her
I know we're fucking monsters
I will never get what I want
(Inside of her)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets sore (sick, sore)
A part of me gets sick, a part of me gets
(Inside of her)
A part of me gets sore, a part of me gets sick (sore, sick)
A part of me gets sore, a part of me gets sick (sore, sick)
A part of me gets sore, a part of me gets sick (sore, sick)
A part of me gets so fucking sick
