I'm a mess, that's the best to describe it.
Having no time to myself's the only way i can fight it.
When I'm alone, it's like I'm staring into a mirror.
Don't know the person inside and that's never been any clearer.
I miss your family and I miss all our friends,
if you had a "to do over", would you do it over again? Cause I would.
This meant something to me,
there's a hole in my heart where you used to be.
I still wish you the best of luck baby,
and don't go thinking this was a waste of time.
I couldn't forget you if I tried.
You killed what was left of the good in me.
I'm tired, so let me be broken.
Look down at the mess that's in front of me.
No other words need be spoken.
I've got nobody else to blame though I tried.
Kept all our past mistakes held inside,
I'll live with regret for my whole life.
I confess, I brought this all on myself.
Condemned to suffer alone like there's nobody else.
When you're gone, it's like a whole part of me's missing,
so I'll keep living the lie,
and just hope that you're listening.
I tried to make us a life here,
but our foundation was built on sand.
No time to run until the damage was done.
I never had the upperhand.
I still wish you the best of luck baby,
and don't go thinking this was a waste of time.
I couldn't forget you if I tried.
You killed what was left of the good in me.
I'm tired, so let me be broken.
Look down at the mess that's in front of me.
No other words need be spoken.
I've got nobody else to blame though I tried.
Kept all our past mistakes held inside,
I'll live with regret for my whole life.
All the things you love are all the things I hate.
How did we get here in the first place?
I play it cool, but it's hard to be.
All my trust is slowly fading inside of me. Over what?
There can't be anymore progress, I know our fate.
Only thing that can heal this is time and space.
I still wish you the best of luck baby,
and don't go thinking this was a waste of time.
I couldn't forget you if I tried.
You killed what was left of the good in me.
I'm tired, so let me be broken.
Look down at the mess that's in front of me.
No other words need be spoken.
I've got nobody else to blame though I tried.
Kept all our past mistakes held inside,

For my whole life.

i confess, that i brought this all on myself
pretend to suffer alone, like there's nobody else
when you're gone, it's like a whole part of me's missing
so i'll keep living the lie
and just hope that you're listening.
i perform this song with my band, so i know what the real lyrics are
Anywho, the meaning behind it is pretty obvious. The singer (Jeremy) lost someone who meant everything to him (Keri) but that doesn't mean that he'll regret what happened between them nor will he ever forget it (when he sings, "I'll live with regret for my whole life" in the chorus I think he means that he regrets letting her slip through his fingers and allowing the relationship to end.) He kind of wants to get back together with her (which is kind of obvious when he says, "When you're gone it's like a piece of me's missing, so I'll keep living the lie and just hope that you're listening") but he sort of hints that it's not likely to happen ("I confess, I brought this all on myself, condemned to suffer along like there's nobody else".) Long story short, it really scarred him and he's going to try to move past all of it but he's not hopeful about the outcome.
It's definitely "that this"
Just listen to the song.
"I'm a mess, that's the best to describe it.
Having no time to myself's the only way i can fight it.
When I'm alone, it's like I'm staring into a mirror.
Don't know the person inside and that's never been any clearer."
Like I said he was in a great relationship and he probably was happier than he ever thought he would be. He feels like he wasn't good enough for it and its his falt its over. When he has time to sit and reflect on his past it tears him apart so he does his best to keep himself busy. He basicly is starting to feel like he doesn't know himself anymore and really hates how he is.
"I miss your family and I miss all our friends,
if you had a "to do over", would you do it over again? Cause I would.
This meant something to me,
there's a hole in my heart where you used to be."
Just talking about how much he misses her and wishes he could do things over again.
"I still wish you the best of luck baby,
and don't go thinking this was a waste of time.
I couldn't forget you if I tried.
You killed what was left of the good in me.
I'm tired, so let me be broken.
Look down at the mess that's in front of me.
No other words need be spoken.
I've got nobody else to blame though I tried.
Kept all our past mistakes held inside,
I'll live with regret for my whole life."
He blames himself completely. He tried to act like it wasn't all his falt and not be so hard on himself but deep down he honestly thinks he was just not good enough. The last line just sums up the entire thing really. No matter how hard he tries he just can't get past it and will always have a little bit of regret.
"I confess, I brought this all on myself.
Condemned to suffer along like there's nobody else.
When you're gone, it's like a whole part of me's missing,
so I'll keep living the lie,
and just hope that you're listening."
Again he is admitting that he just wasn't good enough and he feels like he will never be good enough for anyone and will be alone forever.
This is my favorite song on the new album. I think mostly because the words really hit home for me.

(This is a correction to my correction, I thought the entire chorus was sang through at the end, but Jeremy doesn't repeat the beginning of it. I apologize. Guess I'll be more careful next time I type the chorus and decide to copy and paste it instead of retyping it every time haha)
