Still Falling?
Much the Same Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Break my ribs so I can uncage
All these emotions that still dwell inside my heart
Twenty six hours, where you remain
And I'm force fed all this pain
In heaping spoonfuls
That are slowly killing me
But that's unfair to ever ask of anybody
Are you still falling?
I'm glad you found someone
So now you can breathe
But not for me
The tickle of knives is better than this
But fresh cuts wouldn't help distract
An already bruised and broken soul
So this is my song to you
To tell you just how much I miss you
And I think about you every day

Line by Line Meaning
Thoughts get trapped inside my brain
My mind is cluttered with thoughts that I can't escape
Break my ribs so I can uncage
I wish physical pain could release the emotional pain
All these emotions that still dwell inside my heart
The pain and feelings I have for you still exist
Twenty six hours, where you remain
You are constantly on my mind every day
And I'm force fed all this pain
I am constantly overwhelmed with emotional pain
In heaping spoonfuls
It's more than I can handle, it just keeps coming
That are slowly killing me
It's taking a toll on my well-being
Wait for me
I wish you could wait for me to heal and come back to you
But that's unfair to ever ask of anybody
It's not fair to ask anyone to wait for me or deal with my emotional baggage
Are you still falling?
Are you still in love with me?
I'm glad you found someone
I'm happy that you found someone who makes you happy
So now you can breathe
You can finally catch a break from our toxic relationship
But not for me
I'm still haunted by the memories of us
The tickle of knives is better than this
The physical pain of cutting myself would be more tolerable than the emotional pain
But fresh cuts wouldn't help distract
Even self-harm wouldn't be enough to distract from the pain of missing you
An already bruised and broken soul
My heart is already damaged and hurt from our past
So this is my song to you
This song is my way of expressing my pain and emotions to you
To tell you just how much I miss you
I want you to know how much I think of you and long for you
And I think about you every day
You are always on my mind, even when I try to forget you
