My Idea:
Lines 1-3: They’re both “burning down bridges”; there’s no turning back from what they’re doing
4-5: he’s worried she’ll ‘light a match, their bridge will be burned down’ and she will leave him
6-7: He’s jealous of her other guy, but he’s the only one jealous. She has nothing to be jealous of
8-9: She can’t be happy cheating on her boyfriend, he can’t be happy with her having a boyfriend. If they say they’re happy, they’re both lying
10-11: Don’t say anything that will ruin it; it seems too easy
12: he’ll ‘hide in her bed’ so no one knows, but he’ll always be there for her
13-14: she’s not gonna tell anyone about him, it’s obviously a mistake to cheat on her boyfriend
15: as he’s writing this song he’s remembering the failure, a failure cuz she has a boyfriend and won't leave him
So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke.
He’s weighing her down with guilt so much that it’s as if she’s choking
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.
blue as in turning blue from choking; He’d rather have her like this than not at all.
