In an interview with Bandwagon Asia, Felipe P. Soares, director of the music video for this song, states that “the video deals with many universal themes, and although its structure is abstract, its meaning is direct: It’s ultimately about loneliness, fear, and tragedy, but it’s also about persisten...
[Intro]
[Verse]
I only tell the truth because I love you
But all my words kept pushing you away
Remember the time when all the terms were simple
Holding out the doubt for better days
You can never know if you've tried your best
When you think you've still got time
So I stretched my sorrow across the cracks
To see if we'd intertwine
Every night I'm terrified of losing
A war we never won
And life keeps spinning
Like a broken record
[Chorus]
But I won't catch you if you let go
I'll pick apart the things you let fold
And if that's what you want I guess we'll move on
Ooh, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, babe
[Intro]
[Verse]
I only tell the truth because I miss you
But there you stood so many worlds away
We'd scale the walls just before they crumble
Put it on the line just to reel it in
You were tempted by the devil's flesh
I was jealous as a God
So omniscient yet helpless
In a life out on your own
And while you sparkled in a different scene
I tunnelled through the hours
Replaying the past
Just like a broken record
Replaying the past just like a broken record
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
But I won't catch you if you let go
I'll pick apart the things you let fold
If that's what you want I guess we'll move on
Ooh, I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
