Jaded
A Perfect Murder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You look so fucking cool now
You're acting like a superstar
Telling everyone about your bullshit
So long and never come back
So long and don't cross me again
You can say that you're over this now
I can tell say that you're fucking lame
So long and never come back
So long and don't cross me again
Never cross me again
You were all about, being young until I die
Now you laugh at those days
'Cause it's so cool to be jaded
So long and never come back
And now that you can't look me in the eyes
I see your bullshit and all your lies
So long and never come back
