Stitches Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MusikMadness 

Cover art for Stitches lyrics by Shawn Mendes

My co-workers told me it was about his addiction to Heroin???

I was like, "Nooooooo, say it ain't so" but now that I really really listen to the lyrics, it could possibly be that :-( disturbing, I know.

"Needle in a thread, gonna wind up dead" [Heroin needle in his vein, which may eventually kill him]

"I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing stitches" [With putting the heroin in him "Heroin kisses" he'll be going through withdrawal and will probably start scratching, or doing whatever happens, to himself, during withdrawal]
