From The Outside
Floorpunch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you are losing touch
I'm watching you fall
And it hurts me so much
Everyday it's another excuse
I won't sit and watch you abuse
You said never again, lied to all your friends
From the outside I was looking in
And didn't know where to start
I couldn't see what was going on
While you were losing all your heart

Line by Line Meaning
You said you're all right
You claimed to be doing well
But you are losing touch
But in reality, you are becoming disconnected and distant
I'm watching you fall
I am witnessing your decline
And it hurts me so much
And it pains me deeply
Everyday it's another excuse
Every day you present a new justification for your behavior
I won't sit and watch you abuse
I refuse to stand idly by as you mistreat yourself or others
You said never again, lied to all your friends
You proclaimed that you would never repeat your mistakes, but you deceived those close to you
Now our trust is gone, where did we go wrong
Now, our trust in each other is broken, and we are questioning where things went awry
From the outside I was looking in
Observing from a distance, I could see the situation more objectively
And didn't know where to start
However, I was at a loss for what actions to take in response
I couldn't see what was going on
Although I had a bird's-eye view, I couldn't discern the root causes of your struggles
While you were losing all your heart
In the meantime, you were losing your passion and motivation
