Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have to be me, you have to believe
I know how I was for you through time
We tell "I LOVE YOU"
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
God, how I want for THIS TO BE REAL
It has to be clear, it has to be right
I did which I had done,?? and so cold
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, such a time destroyer

Lyrics✨✨
God how I wish you could be here
You have to be near, you have to believe
You know how I want for you to return
Beaten and alone
Ooh oh oh, your such a time destroyer
Ooh oh oh, I'm such a time destroyer
God how I want for this to be real
It has to be clear, it has to be right
Hiding in shadows
Broken and so cold
