after a while of thinking, for some reason i came up with my own interpretation: he's the "other man" in this girl's relationship.
{ i'm having trouble sleeping
you’re jumping in my bed
twisting in my head
leave me }
she's leaving him before the night's over, disrupting his sleep in her hurry to gather her clothes or something. he knows she's going, but instead of doing anything he just lays there and lets her leave.
{ i’m having trouble breathing
you’re sitting on my chest
i sure could use the rest
leave me }
he's falling in love with her, which isn't good because she's still someone else's lover. he can't handle the thought, and wants to rest instead of having to put up with her and the guilt every night. wishes she would leave because he can't.
{ it’s you
why’s it always you
and never me? }
he's complaining about how her boyfriend/whomever always gets her in the end, while she just disappears after too-short nights and it's never him who has her heart.
{ i've never dared to let
my feelings free }
how he's never said "i love you" because she might just leave him, or something.
{ ... i’ve never cared
too much about honesty }
he doesn't care about the lying and cheating she does, i guess.
{ i'm having trouble sleeping
i’m thinking of what you said
about the tears been shed
leave me }
they might have had a fight or something, and he lashed out.
{ it’s you
now and always you
but never me ... }
he's ended it with the girl, maybe, and now it's always her lover who'll have her, without him being in the way.
(i have another interpretation, where his lover got into an accident and died after an argument. he blames himself and keeps having nightmares where she dies in them, but it's never him in her place.)
