#2. What happened to you that you act like this? (or 'what's wrong with you?' if the implication of the question is negative).
#3. The 'punching bag' is a boxers' item used to help them practise/master their punching techniques. So this is quite gross -- it could imply that the person enjoys hurting another person (his scapegoat) either physically or metaphorically.

#1 'The point of no return' is usually used to describe that you can't go back and must continue on your current course. The whole sentence is not quite clear to me though.

About the 1st one:

You know, one meaning of "point" is an individual moment in time. So the line metaphorically compares point to hours on a clock.

So, it is half past the point of no return means "We have missed all the opportunities for friendship, etc."

Oke to make it clear here is the complete Lyric :
Please tell me the meaning of the RED COLOR WORD

I don't know if I can yell any louder
How many time I've kicked you outta here?
Or said something insulting?

I can be so mean(is it mean cruel or fierce or BAd) when I wanna be
I am capable of really anything
I can cut you into pieces
But my heart is broken

Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

How did I become so obnoxious?
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I've never been this nasty

Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest
But baby I don't mean it
I mean it, I promise

Please don't leave me
Oh please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I cannot be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you, I'm sorry

and the second one...
Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trusted, just trusted
Have you ever thrown a fist full
of glitter in the air?

Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don´t care

It´s only half past the point of no return
The tip of the ice berg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
The breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for
staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring
to prove you´re not alone
Have you ever been touch so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It´s only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breath before the kiss
And the fear before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee,
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar (what is the defenition of sugar in this way)

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars
and pulled that rope tight

Have you ever held your breath and
asked yourself will it ever get
better than tonight? Tonight



That's the complete one
please tell me the exact meaning of these red words
Thanx in Advance
