This song is about how a boy is suffering but the girl (love) is keeping him alive. It’s a way of showing that he’s trying to “love life” and in that he can’t have ‘life’ without her. It is a beautiful anthem for all people trying to live with something difficult in their lives.
[Verse 1]
I've got scars on my wrist from where I used to cut
I didn't want to live but I still wanted love
Oh, she kept me around for a little while longer
Just a man in his head too afraid to commit
But a little drop of blood helped him not to forget
That he might want to stay for a little while longer
And all these streams down your cheeks
[Chorus]
I can see that your inside's dyin'
Less time smilin', more time cryin'
I know you want this to be over
I can see that your heartbeat's shakin'
I know it's hard if I'm not mistaken
I know you wanna try
To try to love life
Again
[Verse 2]
Oh, the fuel that keeps me driving are my flesh and my bones
But now those are growing scarce since I used up my soul
Can you hold on just for a little while longer?
I ran around with strangers and I tried to be fun
But, even when surrounded I still feel numb all the time
[Chorus]
I can see that your inside's dyin'
Less time smilin', more time cryin'
I know you want this to be over
I can see that your heartbeat's shakin'
I know it's hard if I'm not mistaken
I know you wanna try
To try to love life
[Bridge]
Oh, I just need someone to hear me when I call
Though I am screaming next to
You don't hear me at a all
Are you listening at all?
Are you listening at all?
[Chorus]
I can see that your inside's dyin'
Less time smilin', more time cryin'
I know you want this to be over
I can see that your heartbeat's shakin'
I know it's hard if I'm not mistaken
I know you wanna try
To try to love life
