I love this song
It makes me cry every time I hear it
To me it's about a loved one/significant other dealing with drugs. My boyfriend got really really into heroin and cocaine and I kept thinking about this song and eventually told him drugs or me. My story has a better ending because he's clean now but this is what I get from the song.
Stay with me
You're the one that I need
You make the hardest things
Seem easy
It's about still loving that person and how much they mean to you.
You want them there for you and they make your life seem so much better and easier.
Keep my heart
Somewhere drugs don't go
Were the sun shines low
Always keep me close
You love them so much but you don't want to be second to the drugs.
You want to have a special place in their heart that hasn't been taken over by the drugs.
If only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promised you promised that you're done
But i can't tell you from the drugs
They're not the same person that they were before drugs.
They've promised that they were done. That they've quit. You believed them, but they lied. The drugs took over and you can't tell the person that you love from the drugs.
Don't let go
Dig a great big hole
Down an endless hole
We'll both go
This part is about staying with said person through everything.
You know that it will be hard on your relationship, but you can't give up on this person, you love and care for them too much.
You're so blind
You can't save me this time
Hope comes from inside
And I feel so low tonight
They don't know what they're doing while they are on the drugs and have blinded them.
They can't tell what they're doing to the person that they love. Everything inside of them is hoping that it will turn out okay.
If only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promised you promised that you're done
But i can't tell you from the drugs
Same as above
I wish you could see
This face in front of me
You're sorry swear it you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs
Relapse.
It's terrible. They lied and said that they were done. That it would never happen again. It's about him looking at the person that he loves and saying "You're not the same person that you were before, and I want you back the way you were." Then the person saying that they're done but he doesn't know whether to believe them or if it's just the drugs talking.
Ohhhh)
(Ohhhh)
(take me) I need your help
(so far away) To pull me up take the pain
(take me) Out from me
(so far away) Out from me
This person wants help.
They want to quit. To make everything better. They both know it will be hard, but it sound that they really care about each other.
(Take me) If only you could see (I need your help)
(So far away) The stranger next to me (To pull me up take the pain)
(Take me) You promised you promised that your done (Out from me)
(So far away) But I can't tell you from the drugs (Out from me)
This person is pleading for help.
They want everything to be okay but keep going back to the drugs.
(Take me) I wish that you could see (I need your help)
(So far away) This face in front of me (To pull me up take the pain)
(Take me) You'r sorry you swear it your done (Out from me)
(So far away) But I can't tell you from the drugs (Out from me)
They can't stop the drugs.
They keep going back and keep going back after they are promising that it's over. That they're done with the drugs. He really wants to make things work because he still loves her. She needs his help and he keep's thinking that there's no more that he can do.
Keep my heart
somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sun shines low
always keep me close
He's done.
He can't keep saying to himself that everything will be fine and they'll live happy ever after. He still loves her though and wants her to know that she'll always be in his heart and that he wants to stay in hers. To always keep him close to her, but put his heart where drugs can't get to it. That if she ever gets better she can always remember him. He'll always be there for her.
