"Follow your heart", he said.
Do what your heart tells you
Your heart will take you there.
and it will take you where you need to go.
"Swallow your pride", he said.
Don't be egotistic
For pride is anything but rare.
as many people are.
So I walked into your eyes without a coat on
I looked closer at you to see what I could learn without any safety precautions for me
And in the salty sea, I find you're all but gone.
Even though it seems you can't be saved, I found that there is hope for you yet. The salty sea is referring to tears, crying.
Take my hand, you're treading water
Come with me, you're not on stable ground.
I feel the sand slipping away from underneath our toes
The solid ground is leaving us and we are still not stable
Nobody knows Where is it she goes?
No one knows where her happy place is, where she escapes to when reality is too much for her
Locked in the bathroom stall
(Double Meaning) Literally and she's trapped by her own fear and insecurity.
Your back against the wall.
(Double Meaning)Literally and she's cornered. There's nowhere else to go.
Cold tiles beneath your knees,
Literally
Your body broke your fall.
She's bulimic and weak from purging so she's fallen as she goes to purge again.
Spitting into your own reflection gazing back
Not happy with the way she looks, she sees herself in the reflection of the water in the toilet
Inside your porcelain fists, your palms begin to crack.
Porcelain is often associated with perfection (porcelain dolls) she seems perfect but really she's breaking down inside. Fists are used for fighting. she's trying to fight herself
When those sad eyes start to close
People often close their eyes to go to their happy place, to leave the world for a second.
Nobody knows Where is it she goes?
No one knows where her happy place is, where she escapes to when reality is too much for her
