I don’t think it’s about murder. I do think it’s about realizing that he did wrong and he’s taken away the love from her eyes .
She’s all washed out and probably sick .
so he put down his gun on the bedside table ( maybe she’s dying)!because he was coldly and in full view of everyone doing her wrong ( maybe abuse as the lyrics suggest slowly over long term)
They were obviously fighting a lot.
I can still hear our screams competing ( fights)
You hissing like a snake ( she fought back )
Now in the mirror stands half the man I thought no one could break ( meaning him)
And I could have sworn it wasn’t me ( he did it without even realizing he was abusive )
He could leave but he wants to stop fighting now . I guess he did some damage to her and she can’t talk or won’t . He wants to make amends and he’s losing her.
Abuse emotional and physical can make a woman lose her voice eventually . She probably will never open up to him again. It’s sobpainful you don’t have words and you don’t look at the world the same way . If it’s long term the one who abused you over long term cannot heal you . Outside intervention is required. Been there .
Breaks my heart .
At least he’s asking .
