Pretty self explanatory...

I will return again/ I am a part of you.... (She will never be able to escape him because he was a strong force in her life, she can deny it to everyone but his memory will haunt her.)

Are you somewhere listening to me? Have these whispers finally found the cracks? White walls won't forever keep these screams They will shatter ( white walls maybe referencing the walls in an asylum that are sound proof and padded....the white walls she is protected by will buckle under the pressure of the truth)

Secretly, you know that I'm still here While you're being held you're so alone For you killed the only one who cared Let it shatter. (There is a voice within the walls) ( she's with this other guy but empty inside because it means nothing and this person doesn't actually care about her. She destroyed the man who truly cared for her)

What do you do When my soul invites you? Oh, you'll see me again You know this will never end What do you do When your heart reminds you? Oh, you'll put me to death But I will return again ( when she remembers him and the memories, when she reawakens and realizes...when her heart aches and reminds her. She'll try to shut him out but she never really can, his memory will always haunt her)
