The Pros and Cons of Breathing Lyrics

Cover art for The Pros and Cons of Breathing lyrics by Fall Out Boy

Bury me standing under your window with the cinder block in hand - he wanted to hurt her but couldnt as he loves her Yeah cause no one will ever feel like this again - sme as above And if I could move I'm sure it would only be to crawl back to you - stating he would go back to her no matter what I must have dragged my guts a block... they were gone by the time we (talked)...- his feelings were on the surface, but when he seen her he had no guts to tell her how he feels ?

I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself - hes disapointed in himself But you know that I could crush you with my voice - the songs will get her back/ he could tell people what shes done

Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me - looked into her window as shes cheating ? Hide the details I don't want to know a thing - shes admitted it to him

I hate the way you say my name like it's something secret - ashamed of him My pen is the barrel of the gun. Remind me which side you should be on - she should be with him and not being wrote about like the rest of girlies

I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel. - she doesnt relise hes even their, like most of us have felt :)

@shaungibson I think you are pretty spot on with most of your interpretations of the lyrics. However, under MY PEN IS THE BARREL OF THE GUN... I really think they are referring to HOW words can be used.. you can "kill" /hurt someone with words... (.. the pen is mightier than the sword written by Edward Bulwer-Lytton) or you could protect with words (gun) as well.
