I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING
EKKSTACY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think that they ever will
I need to get out of here
I could go anywhere
You're in the back of my mind still
I don't know
I swear I try and try and try
I can't let go
I'd give you everything
That I own
I don't mean anything though
More days go by
I'm still lost
Most of the time
And I can't seem
I can't seem to get out of this, It's constant
I don't know
I swear I try and try and try
I can't let go
I'd give you everything
That I own
I don't mean anything though
I don't mean anything though
I don't mean anything though
