Call Me When You're Sober Lyrics Meaning

I htink this song is about a state of confusion for whoever she's with. He says he loves her, but he won't take whatever "the next step" may be. And how, amy loves him, but if he doesn't "make up his mind" then she has to leave, which is what she doesn't want to happen. He has no idea whether he loves her so she has to let him go

"can't keep believing
we're only deciving ourselves
and I'm sick of this lie"

and she's upset that she has to leave him. When he was apparently drunk, he says he loves her, but when he's sober, he nver tells her that he loves her, and never calls back or whatever. I really hope that made sense.

Letting go is hard for her,

"how could I have burned paradise"

should I let you fall
lose it all

he's evrything in the world to her but he doens't love her, she has no choice. That's my interpretaton anyway.
