Don't See The Sorrow
Au Revoir Simone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let it creep up through your skin
'Cause I read somewhere-
What you like, you'll find again
you'll find it again
I'm on the edge
Of not wanting to feel this way anymore
But I will still try to learn my lessons
With no mistakes anyway
I know that, know that
So you--
Why won't you make room, some room
For me? You--
Why won't you make room, some room
I see myself in you
I seem to know my too
Here on a day this clear
It's as good a day to begin, to begin
So you--
Why won't you make room, some room
For me? You--
Why won't you make room, some room
For me? You--
Why don't you make room, some room
For me? You--
Why won't you make room, some room?
