The song is about his lover cheating on him with other men. "On every broken promise that your body couldn't keep." He contemplated suicide after discovering the truth, his "fear" he was afraid to face. "I think you saw me confronting my fear. It went up with the bottle and down with the beer." Though he feels attached to her, he wants nothing to do with her. "And I think you oughta stay away from here." There are a lot of rumors going around that seem to haunt him at every turn. "There are ghosts in the walls and they crawl in your head through your ear." He dreams of his lover never cheating on him and they returning to how things were. "I think I saw you in my dreams. You were stitching up the seams on every mangled promise that your body couldn't keep."
