Sugar
She Wants Revenge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to tell you but you just wouldn't hear me
Now it's hard to find the words to explain
You're pushing forward while I'm pushing away
I think it's time we set some rules to this game

And she carries on
She carries on
She carries on
In her own way

(I am)looking for differences while you seek affection
Now I think it's time that we should be friends
(Or just)make me your enemy if that makes it easier
For you to finally see it's the end

Then she carries on
She carries on
She carries on
In her own way

Sugar don't you forget me
I'm only asking
Would you take me with you
I'm all alone
Sugar don't you forget me
I'm only asking
Will you take me with you
I'm all alone

Holding me hostage with emotions and tears
Wearing me down until I've lost my resolve
(But then)in the morning when I break from these chains
You act surprised as if our problem's resolved

Then she carries on
She carries on
She carries on
In her own way

(I)pack my bags and set them right by the door
And cross my fingers as I head back inside
(Because)I never meant to break your spirit
I'm sure they'll be regrets but first I need to survive

And we'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
In our own ways

Sugar don't you forget me
I'm only asking
Would you take me with you
I'm all alone
Sugar don't you forget me
I'm only asking
Please just take me with you
I'm all alone

I'm only asking
Because I'm broken and tattered in two
I'm only asking
Because I'm simply enamored with you

Sugar don't you forget me
I'm only asking
Would you take me with you
I'm all alone
Sugar don't you forget me
I'm only asking
Please just take me with you
I'm all alone

I'm all alone
I'm all alone
