I'm tearing away
(Loss of self/he's beating himself up)
Pieces are falling
I can't seem to make them stay
(He tries to talk and say right things they go wrong and get worse)
You run away
Faster and faster you can't seem to get away
(She's trying to make distance but it doesn't help him stop thinking of her; or she's being polite but basically effectively stringing him on)
Break!
(Up, duh)
Hope there's a reason
For questions unanswered
I just don't see everything
(He can't talk openly to her about questions he still has, or at least can't trust what she's saying to be true anymore so same effect)
Yes I'm inside you
Tell me how does it feel to feel like this
Just like I do
(Possible ideas: 1) He wants her to still care and thinks maybe she's BSing and still does, 2) He knows she wont tell him to get away so he likes making her awkward because it's all he's got now and she's trapped so they're BOTH trapped in his mind in a similar way, 3) He can't move on and as long as he's making things hard for her she can't find anyone new thus still in his mind similar.)
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
(This is kindof like the voice of truth breaking through, see next verse).
Do i really want this
Sometimes i scare myself I just can't let it go
(This is where he reveals he thinks he could say goodbye and let them both rest but he's unwilling to do so; it seems he really would be relieved by it but doesn't know if he wants her to be? He's doing it on purpose though; and he doesn't know why he's still hanging on either to just torturing her, or maybe to the idea of getting her back. Maybe, just holding onto the pain?)
Can you believe it?
Everything happens for reasons
I just dont know
(If it all happened 'for the best' he may be induced to let it go; but there's no proof yet?)
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone or anything but me
Goddamn I love me
(He's posturing sorrow; but likely there was no one there but him in the first place. And it's still about him, not her.)
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
NOTES: 1) It could be another guy lol; I assumed 'her' but even if he wasn't gay you can write a song about an idea and not mean it directly to your life. 2) I don't think he's advocating it, he's just expressing the experience of someone who is in this position. Maybe he's even trying to reveal the attitude to comment on how it's pathetic. It's certainly not presented as glorious or functional behavior.
Love over and he's not over it song. Exposition:

Hope it wasn't retarded!
