"You tear me down and then you pick me up
You take it all but still its not enough
You try to tell me you can heal me
But I'm still bleeding and you will be the death of me"
(My own personal opinion):
When it says this I believe "you" is referring to those temporary joys in life, or sin.
Because think about it those temporary joys(pornography, drugs, alcohol, etc.) do provide us with happiness and feel good chemicals sent to our brain. But in the end they tear us down. It's sort of a self fulfilling prophecy. Think about it like this:
Say you're struggling with masturbation, and porn. You want to stop and please God, but every time you do it you feel like crap and you carry guilt and shame with you. Masturbation, 99% of the time, has emotional triggers. That just means stress, having a bad day, or those feelings of guilt and shame can cause you to masturbate to make you feel better. So when you do have those feelings it's easier to fall into that temptation hence the "You tear me down, then you pick me up"
Satan wants to take everything from us, our salvation, faith, and happiness we receive from being Christians. But that's not enough for Satan he wants our lives to hurt and cause our brothers to stumble that's what I get from the "You take it all, but still it's not enough"
"You try to tell me you can heal me" think about it Satan is a sly, mischievous thing. Remember how he tempted Jesus and he even quoted Scripture to make Jesus think that it's the right thing to do. Satan's lies will seem not that bad at first, and maybe even beneficial, but once he has you in his hands, you will reap the consequences and things will go to heck, explaining the "but I'm still bleeding"
AS for the "you will be the death of me" it says in Romans 6:23:
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Sin WILL be the death of us, but thankfully for God's amazing Son we will live again and will be given a second chance. We are forgiven.
