Oh, you can be so awful now
Then don't you agree? Eh
But do you remember all those methods we had?
Like after the long night up
To the boost to six
Oh, did you here me whisper how I wanted you
Dead
Oh, how I wanted

Line by Line Meaning
Oh, lover you can be so condescending
Oh, dear love, you often talk down to me in a patronizing manner
Oh, you can be so awful now
You have now become extremely unpleasant and troublesome
Then don't you agree? Eh
Don't you think that's true?
But do you remember all those methods we had?
Do you recall the various techniques we utilized?
Like after the long night up
For instance, the morning following an all-nighter
To the boost to six
Or the feeling of adrenaline rush
Oh, did you here me whisper how I wanted you
Did you hear me express my desire for you in a soft, low voice?
Dead
I wished for your death
Oh, how I wanted
How I longed for it

Old lover
You can so condescending
You can be awful now don’t you agree
But do you remember all the memories we had
Like how after that long night
After the booze after the sex
Did you hear me whisper how I wanted you
Dead
How I wanted you
Dead
How I wanted you
How I wanted you
Dead
Old lover,
Do you still think of me?
Cuz I still of you you know I do
And that woman
That women will
Try and break you down
Try and break you in to your heart right now
Oh don’t you agree
And I got to say
That you had your way
And now
All that’s left
Is the truth
That loves not only blind but deaf
But do you remember all the memories we had
Like how after that long night
After the booze after the sex
Did you hear me whisper how I wanted you
Dead
How I wanted you
Dead
How I wanted you
How I wanted you
Dead
And in the morning I’ll be late
Bc it’s always comes to late
And in the morning I’ll be late
Sweet rays around your face
And in the morning I’ll be late
The flowers wilt and die away
And in the morning I’ll be late
And there’s no halo on my head
Because I wanted you

Women will try and break you down
Or try and break into your heart right now
D-d-don't you agree?
Well, well, well, well
Oh, I, oh gotta' say

The morning up and rain
The sweet lace around your face
You're all up in my head
The flowers, wear them down the wait
Oh, get your head off my head
Because I wanted you

My brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life.

I am so sorry for your loss... I also lost my sister and that time she really liked Lady Gaga's Telephone. That music takes a special place in my heart. I hope, one day you will be able to listen to this song with happy thoughts.
Trance Colwell
I'm just another random person at 11:56PM at night seeing this but I'd like to think regardless of everything your brother was an amazing person I'm sorry for your loss, In a way this song brought me to seeing this comment as well as the feeling we probably capture when listening/watching this music video. God Bless.

I’m so sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing, it’s more brave than you’d like to think and I’m keeping you and yours, regardless of identity, in my thoughts during this time.
