Simply explains
It's all that remains
It's no wonder why
I have not slept in days
The dust on the floor
Piled up from the years
All those scars and souvenirs
It's easy to see
But so hard to believe
By the way
You left without saying
Goodbye to me
Now that you're gone away
All I can think about is
You and me
You and me
It's not like before
You've left nothing here
It's all disappeared
It hurts me to see
That we've been a lie
Would it have hurt you to try?
By the way
You left without saying
Goodbye to me
Now that you're gone away
All I can think about is
You and me
You and me
It's sad to say that
This pain is killing me inside
But it's time to say
That this pain is keeping me alive
Twisting and turning
It rips through my heart
It's been tearing me apart
By the way
You left without saying
Goodbye to me
Now that you're gone away
All I can think about is
You and me
You and me
All I think about now
Is you and me
You and me
All I think about now
Is you and me
You and me
By the way
By the way
By the way
The lyrics to "By the Way" by Theory of a Deadman tell a story of heartbreak and betrayal. The singer is left alone with only a note by the door as a reminder of the relationship that once was. The dust on the floor and the scars and souvenirs left behind serve as painful reminders of what was lost. The singer can't sleep and is consumed with thoughts of the past, unable to move on.
The chorus of the song expresses the pain and longing the singer feels for the person who left without saying goodbye. The simple phrase "you and me" is repeated throughout, emphasizing the intense emotional connection that once existed between the two people. The lyrics suggest that the relationship was a lie, and that the other person didn't even leave anything behind, making it even more difficult for the singer to accept their departure.
The final verse acknowledges the depth of the pain the singer feels, but suggests that it's also necessary for their survival. The pain is tearing them apart, but it's also keeping them alive. The repetition of "you and me" at the end of the song suggests that despite the hurt and the betrayal, the singer can't let go of the love they once shared.

JUST got back from their concert. I was so close to the front row and I screamed "I LOVE YOU, TYLER!" He turned around, smiled big, and said "Love you, too!" in his mic. I've never been happier.
