Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the things you do
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Oh baby I see you
And all the things you do
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Emergency room
Emergency room
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Emergency room
Emergency room
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Baby I don't know how
Know that we're losing time
And I don't know how to tell you
That I know I'm not the only one
You've told me once before
But I keep coming back for more
You've told me once before
But I keep coming back for more, for more
Oh baby I see you
And all the things you do
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Oh baby I see you
And all the things you do
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Emergency room
Emergency room
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Emergency room
Emergency room
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
You choose, you lose, you go, I stay
I pray that I'll be yours one day
You choose, you lose, you go, I stay
I pray that I'll, I'll be yours one day
You choose, you lose, you go, I stay
I pray that I'll be yours one day
You choose, you lose, you go, I stay
I pray that I'll be yours one day
Oh baby I see you
Oh baby I see you
Oh baby I see you
I see you
Why did you tell me, I wish that I'd never, never known
And I wouldn't have so many coffins open
And I wouldn't suspect
That every single time you weren't home
You're with somebody else but me
And I wouldn't suspect
That every single time you weren't home
You're with somebody else but me
I hate being vulnerable
I hate being vulnerable
I'm not in, I'm not in control
Oh baby I see you
And all the things you do
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Oh baby I see you
And all the things you do
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Emergency room
Emergency room
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
I'm not in control
I'm not in control
I don't wanna wake up
Oh baby I see you
And all the things you do
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Oh baby I see you
And all the things you do
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Oh baby I see you
And all the things you do
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
Oh baby I see you
And all the things you do
Broken, dying, and I'm lying
In an emergency room
I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up

Emergency room
Reinforcement of feeling trapped and desperate, repeating the same situation and setting
Baby I don't know how
I don't know what to do or say anymore
Know that we're losing time
Realizing that we're running out of time to save our relationship
And I don't know how to tell you
I'm struggling to communicate my feelings to you
That I know I'm not the only one
I understand that you're seeing someone else
You've told me once before
You've admitted this to me in the past
But I keep coming back for more
Even though I know the truth, I still want to be with you
You choose, you lose, you go, I stay
You can make your own choices, but I'll be here regardless of what you decide
I pray that I'll be yours one day
I hope that you'll see me as the one for you eventually
Why did you tell me, I wish that I'd never, never known
I regret knowing the truth, and I wish you had never told me
And I wouldn't have so many coffins open
This knowledge has caused me emotional pain and opened up old wounds
And I wouldn't suspect
I wouldn't have any doubts or suspicions
That every single time you weren't home
Whenever you were not with me physically
You're with somebody else but me
You're seeing someone else
I hate being vulnerable
I despise being in a position where I could be hurt or taken advantage of
I'm not in, I'm not in control
I feel powerless and out of control
I don't wanna wake up
I don't want to face the reality of my situation
