Keep your old and wasted word
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned
these lies and make them all burn
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
but the town has always turned
these lies and make them all burn
Can you feel the leeches bite
That boy did she took out tonight
He's brave and walking sure
through all the spots you're working for
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
but the town has always turned
these lies and make them all burn
When the light is out
when the words have gone
let me be the one to try it on
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned
these lies and make them all burn
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
but the town has always turned
these lies and make them all burn
Can you feel the leeches bite
That boy did she took out tonight
He's brave and walking sure
through all the spots you're working for
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
but the town has always turned
these lies and make them all burn
When the light is out
when the words have gone
let me be the one to try it on

Keep your old and wasted words

This is him telling her to save her apologies that she tries to make when word gets to her about how heartbroken he is. He blames the thrills of the town that excite her for tearing them apart and calls all the rumours about the city being fun the lies that are burning him.
Can you feel the leeches bite
That boy did she took out tonight
He's brave and walking sure
through all the spots you're working for
'Can you feel the leeches bite' is an amazing line. The leeches are the people and he's feeling them 'bite' by the sort of things they are saying, the rumours they are telling him about her and it's painful. 'He's brave and walking sure through all the spots you're working for' This is him saying this boy she's with tonight is perfect for all the things she's trying and wants to be and the boy knows it. He's ticking all the boxes of what this new her wants.
Perhaps this song is about a relationship, one that has gone sour. One in which the guy made promises and failed to keep them. I'm sure many of us have said this and that; devoting infinities to our lovers, and then when the time comes to split, we split and forget about all the things we said.
I'm not sure what they mean by the town turning the lies and making them burn? I assume that the love was shared/experienced in a town, and hence the memories associated with the places they would frequent, make it that much more painful to accept that relationship, and the promises as just lies. Because you're in the town, experiencing it constantly, it hurts that much more. (Am I being redundant?)
I'm guessing the guy was the one that ended up breaking his promise? And now some other guy has come to fill that spot, walking sure and confidently through the paths that he feels he created?
Or do they mean that this one confident guy, with all his talk is just messing around(emotionally/physically) with this particular girl that he (the singer) likes, but when he disappears--the phony, this singer will give it a shot with her, and see what he can do?
Haha,I know it's all really jumbled up--my thoughts. But I had to get it all out. Would love to see more interpretations.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
