This song is about arriving at a point in a relationship where the person you loved isn't there anymore. That person has changed, and with that change came a communication breakdown, where they would mostly lash out, assume the worst in you, and think you're attacking them in some way with your words. They have adopted a pre-assuming negative perspective of you.
In summary, they think you're against them, even when you've only acted in loving, patient, and caring ways at any time you could. But even when you did these things, the person you loved wouldn't acknowledge or notice it, because they were already too lost in their skewed perspective of you, which came from you doing negative things in the beginning of the relationship.
Even though you've acknowledged those things you did, and apologize for them, they still fall on deaf ears again, because of their perspective. So you decide to let them go, in hopes that their walls will come down one day.
lyrics
Stone cold eyes pierce my chest
I won't move until the rest
The feelings shared the love we sought
Washed away with the storm you brought
And now I fear far too much
Too let you know where you touch
Inside my soul I cannot find
A reason to not leave this behind
And now I'm taking more them what's been told is mine
I don't even care just stay and pass the time
I want to say I can't let go but nothing makes me feel ok
You tell me it's not yes and no, but in-between there's just no space
And now I feel the weight of living on my own
Even though you're here I feel so alone
Stuck in the shell I call my skin this spirit yearns for another place
I fight and spread myself too thin, I'm starting to give into my self-hate
And now I can't breathe the way I used to fill my lungs
I feel complete when you're not here to squeeze my neck
I just go over the times I wish I could rewind
To the moments I said what I didn't mean and just not go so fast
You make me feel so numb I can't forget our past
Speak and say whatever you think will help me stay
I know it's hard to see things my way but I guarantee that someday
You and I will be free to roam the stars
As minds without fear of open scars
And only see who we truly are
I love with the fullness of our hearts
Until they never beat
