Throw me
No more bones and I will tell you no lies
This time
At least I am not so cold
You give me everything I never deserved
This time
You know I'll leave
Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Cut off
I'll go my way if I'm going at all
This time
Believe that the strong red lines
That I will draw will come and cover you up
This time
You know I'll leave
Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
We are losing ground
It's time to save your neck
And I will try to find my feet and go
I am braced for words that never come
But I choose to decide that
I don't regret it, I don't regret it
Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
No more bones and I will tell you no lies
This time
At least I am not so cold
You give me everything I never deserved
This time
You know I'll leave
Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Cut off
I'll go my way if I'm going at all
This time
Believe that the strong red lines
That I will draw will come and cover you up
This time
You know I'll leave
Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
We are losing ground
It's time to save your neck
And I will try to find my feet and go
I am braced for words that never come
But I choose to decide that
I don't regret it, I don't regret it
Here's to taking what you came for
And here's to running off the pain
And here's to just another no man
If you want another
Say you need another
Here's to never ending circles
And building them on top of me
And here's to another no man
If you want another
Say you need another

The strangest lyric is "here's to just another no man" which clearly makes no sense.
But I think 'no man' might actually be 'gnomon' (pronounced similarly). The gnomon is the part of the sundial that casts a shadow. Therefore, 'here's to just another gnomon' might refer to another hour, another day, or simply another cycle of time or way of measuring it.
This seems to fit with the 'never ending circles' theme, as time, a sundial, and the sun itself all repeat in never ending circles.
@lordbronte It might be, here's another "no" man, ie someone who always says no to things
This time I might really leave you.
Chorus:
“Here’s to taking what you came for” Here’s to dropping pretenses, but really, Here you are, just after what you came for (sex), so now I’m going to tell you what I really think of you.
“Here’s to running off the pain” Similar to ‘walking it off’, getting over it, but with the added layer of ‘running off’, therefore possibly, when things get bad, he runs around town drinking.
“Here’s to just another no man” Here’s to my lover, who is not a real man, see below.
“If you want another, Say you need another.” If you need another woman. Tell the truth, stop cheating, grow up.
“Here’s to never ending circles” They’re always breaking up and getting back together again, wandering around in an endless maze of lies.
“And building them on top of me” She’s feeling crushed beneath the weight of the lies.
Verse 1 “Throw me....” Be straight with me and I’ll be straight with you, but be careful: this time I might leave you.
Verse 2 “Cut off....” I might really leave this time.
Verse 3 “We are losing ground....” It’s becoming clear that nothing is going to save the relationship, but this time I don’t regret losing you.
