Tell Me Why
♪ Three Days Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like I'm always getting blood on my hands
All it takes is one and I'm gone and a thousand 'til the end
How'd I wind up here again?
You take me to the edge
You push me too far
You watch me slip away
Tell me why!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me!
Why does everything that I love get taken away?
You take me to the edge
Push me too far
Watch me slip away
Holding on too hard
Tell me
Why does everything that I love get taken away?
From me?
How come nothing ever lasts?
It goes from good to bad to worse so fast
All it takes is one and I'm gone and you can't erase the past
How come nothing ever lasts?
You take me to the edge
You push me too far
You watch me slip away
I'm holding on too hard
Tell me why!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me!
Why does everything that I love get taken away?
You take me to the edge
Push me too far
Watch me slip away
Holding on too hard!
Tell me
Why does everything that I love get taken away?
From me?
(From me?)
Here I am alone again
Alone again
Here I am alone again
How come nothing ever lasts?
It goes from good to bad to worse so fast
Tell me why!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me!
Why does everything that I love get taken away?
You take me to the edge
Push me too far
Watch me slip away
Holding on too hard!
Tell me
Why does everything that I love get taken away?
Tell me
Why does everything that I love get taken away?
From me?

World so Cold
Three Days Grace
Lyrics
I never thought I'd feel this
Guilty and broken down inside
Living with myself, nothing but lies
I always thought I'd make it
But never knew I'd let it get so bad
Living with myself is all I have
I feel numb
I can't come to life
I feel like I'm frozen in time
Living in a world so cold, wasting away
Living in a shell with no soul, since you've gone away
Living in a world so cold, counting the days
Since you've gone away
You've gone away
Do you ever feel me?
Do you ever look deep down inside
Staring at yourself, paralyzed?
I feel numb
I can't come to life
I feel like I'm frozen in time
Living in a world so cold, wasting away
Living in a shell with no soul, since you've gone away
Living in a world so cold, counting the days
Since you've gone away
You've gone away
From me
I'm too young (I'm too young)
To lose my soul
I'm too young (I'm too young)
To feel this old
So long (so long)
I'm left behind
I feel like I'm losing my mind
Do you ever feel me?
Do you ever look deep down inside
Staring at your life, paralyzed?
Living in a world so cold, wasting away
Living in a shell with no soul, since you've gone away
Living in a world so cold, counting the days
Since you've gone away
You've gone away
From me
I'm too young, (I'm too young)
I'm too young, (I'm too young)

Don't know what's going on
Don't know what went wrong
Feels like a hundred years
I still can't believe you're gone
So, I'll stay up all night
With these bloodshot eyes
While these walls surround me
With the story of our life
I feel so much better
Now, that you're gone forever
I tell myself that I don't
Miss you at all
I'm not lying, denying
That I feel so much better now
That you're gone forever
Now, things are coming clear
And I don't need you here
And in this world around me
I'm glad you disappeared
So, I'll stay out all night
Get drunk and fuck and fight
Until the morning comes
I'll forget about our life
I feel so much better
Now, that you're gone forever
I tell myself that I don't
Miss you at all
I'm not lying, denying
That I feel so much better now
That you're gone forever
First time you screamed at me
I should have made you leave
I should have known
It could be so much better
I hope you're missing me
I hope I've made you see
That I'm gone forever
And now, it's coming clear
That I don't need you here
And in this world around me
I'm glad you disappeared
I feel so much better
Now, that you're gone forever
I tell myself that I don't
Miss you at all
I'm not lying, denying
That I feel so much better now
That you're gone forever
And now, you're gone forever
And now, you're gone forever

I love this song because the first time he sings the chorus, it feels like he’s lying to himself and saying he doesn’t miss them when he really does, the second time feels like he’s just a saying it because he’s drunk and angry and then the last few times it’s like he genuinely realizes that he’s better off without them and I love that
