Stitches
Jon Cozart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread,
Gonna wind up dead
Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head, get you out of my head
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees (falling on my knees)
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches (and I'll be needing stitches)
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help (begging, "Baby, please.")
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
In Jon Cozart's song Stitches, the artist describes the pain he experiences after a breakup. He says that while he thought he had been hurt before, no one has ever left him quite so devastated. The words his ex-partner spoke hurt him deeply, causing him to need someone to "breathe him back to life." He feels like he is going under and is bleeding out, but if he stops calling his ex-lover and moves on, he knows he can make it out alive. He compares his situation to being drawn to a flame like a moth, unable to sense the pain until it is too late. His ex-lover's cold, bitter heart has left him seeing red on his own.
The chorus of the song describes the pain that the artist is experiencing, as he feels like he is bleeding out and needing stitches. He is falling onto his knees and is now without his ex-lover's kisses. He is left tripping over himself, begging for help, and feeling as though he will wind up dead.
The song is a powerful representation of the pain and devastation that can come with a breakup, with the artist's lyrics capturing the feeling of being hurt and alone after losing someone you once loved.
