Search me and all you'll find on me is heartache kiss me one last time and I'll move along
I have nothing to offer you in a relationship other than heartache. Let's have one last kiss before parting ways.

touch me so i can start building resistance
Touch me so I can begin to detach emotionally and build resistance against getting hurt by you.

how many times do I have to say I'm wrong
I acknowledge my mistakes, but I wonder how many times I have to apologize for them to make things right between us.

Leave me so I can stop feeding reaction
If you leave me, I won't have to keep reacting emotionally to our relationship problems and can move on.

what are the chances we live to end up alone
What are the odds that we will eventually end up alone despite being in a relationship?

I wish I knew where I could look to avoid distraction every engagement sneaks in a trial of its own
I wish I knew where to find peace and avoid the distractions that come with being in a relationship. Every engagement has its own set of challenges.

even when ends get met promises get to get broken bleeding your heart dry bleeding your heart dry
Even when we achieve our goals or end things, promises still get broken, which leaves us emotionally drained.

I see the tattoo on your neck
I notice the tattoo on your neck.

match the details of your dress
It goes well with the details on your dress.

I see the vanities on fire
I see your pride and self-interest burning brightly to impress others.

with your maneuvers to impress
You use different tactics to impress people.

I see the wrong boy wrack his brain trying to keep you entertained
I see a guy who's not right for you going out of his way to keep you interested.

I see the loneliness surround you with all your verdicts in the drain
You are surrounded by loneliness despite all the choices and decisions you have made.

make mistakes while you can keep your eyes on him but see me instead
Take risks and make mistakes while you still have the chance. Look at him but imagine me instead.

lend your favor your dime store favor you don't have to kneel to protect your heart
Give me your attention and affection, but don't lower yourself or put yourself in a vulnerable position to guard your heart.

maybe this time maybe next time maybe never what's a long time when you've burnt your laurels
Maybe we can try again now, or maybe next time or it might never happen, there's no knowing for sure as time flies by and opportunities pass.

and now the tattoo on my neck matches the details of your dress but all the intimacy's dead
I now have a tattoo that matches your dress, but our intimacy is gone.

and complications start to set
As we move on, we face more problems and challenges in life.

I hear the wrong voice in my head say the words I wish I said
I hear a voice in my head that tells me I should have said certain things at certain times.

Yes all the things i wish all the things i wish I'd said
There are many things that I wish I had said and expressed but didn't.

lay your head on him but see me instead
Rest your head on his shoulder, but imagine it's me who's there for you.

cause what he says in the nighttime won't be true in the morning
What he says and does in the night may not be sincere or lasting until the morning.

make mistakes while you can lay your head on him but see me instead
Take risks and make mistakes while you still can. Rest your head on his shoulder, but imagine it's me who's there for you.
