Accomplice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was way back when
Things were a whole lot greener then
But today I just don't know what to believe in
(It's impossible to find love these days
I spend 'em sitting around the house
Just feeling sorry for myself
Maybe I should get over you)
Back then nothing could phase me
But today everything's so crazy
I don't have time for anyone
That don't have time for me
And it was from you that I learned
This philosophy
And to love you
I paid mentally
Love was shot down in flames
My story's a tragedy
And the worst part of it all
It was my friend holding me down again
No it shouldn't feel this way
Love is not supposed to hurt
It should set you free
But every now and then
You come around and say
You're my friend
Tell me you love me again
Well it's a good thing
I know you'd fake life to get what you want
By telling lies
And it makes you high
To see me low
I've had to watch your self-confidence grow
Every time that you pull your love away
Throw all your happiness in my face
