Nosebleed Lyrics

I think this song is about a girl and her indecisivness, going from the singer to the other guy.

"You still value his word Now that it's not there"

He's saying that even though she broke up with him, she still cares about what he thinks. So she still has feelings for the ex.

"He changed his look for you But you changed your life for him"

I think he means that the ex guy tried to get the girl back, and in the end she went. And then he asks, "Now was the verdict worth the trial?" So pretty much he's asking, "Was making him change himself worth it to get you back?"

"I'd love to clear the air But I can't bear to hear your voice It's tainted with his name"

He'd like to ask her what happened but he's so disgusted/saddened with the whole situation.

I think the nosebleed thing is from the girl's constant change in "altitude" going from the ex(high altitude) to low(the singer) which usually causes nosebleeds.

Awesome song, no matter what it means.
