I tried. It's not perfect, I'm no expert, but I hope this can help someone :)
It's quite rough, but I think I might have done alright.
"You can write my place
Out of the life you make
And all the things that mattered
When you knew my face
Cross off all the ways I failed you
'Cause I failed you
But I'm still in your blood
You're still in my blood"
She's saying to her ex that yeah, you can pretend you're over me, and I can pretend I'm over you, but we both know the truth is that we still have feelings for eachother.
"A time when all your mistakes
Made sense, you needed it."
This means that he needed time to sort out his mistakes and he couldn't handle a relationship, the word 'it' meaning a break from the relationship.
"A time when all the lyin'
Sympathized with sin
All this sabotage and blame
Well, I can take it
'Cause I just want you back
I just want you back"
In the chorus she says that we really just needed a break from eachother but doesn't have to be permanent. We are better together than apart. I can get used to stuff that annoys me, and we'll be alright again.
"Temporary battles
Can take up half your life"
She is saying to her ex that you can go through a lot of time being unhappy, and missing what once was because you're too stuborn to forgive and forget.
"How you dig your bed
Will it help you sleep at night?
Forgiveness like a blanket
That you want to forget
But you still crumble at my name
You still crumble at my name"
Basically still just following the same theme as the other verses. We'll be okay if you forgive and forget, because you still love me. Even at the sound of my anme you grow weak, so just come back to me.
