Leave Me Alone
Acid Eyeliner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The gun to my head is made up of all the things you said about me
The face in the dark makes me scream for you, and I close my eyes
And I told you yesterday that this was goodbye

The knife in your eyes have taken to many lives I run so I survive
But where did u go, the reason you gave me none so leave my fucking life
And I told you yesterday that this was goodbye

So leave me alone, goodbye
Leave me alone, tonight
Leave me alone, I don?t need u anymore

Leave me alone, goodbye
Leave me alone, tonight
Leave me alone, I don?t need u anymore

The killer in you is hidden inside a face that smiles to hide her lies
How broken u are how heartless indecent fuck I hate u even more
And I told u yesterday that this was good bye

So leave me alone, goodbye
Leave me alone, tonight

Leave me alone, I don?t need u anymore

Leave me alone, goodbye
Leave me alone, tonight
Leave me alone, I don?t need u anymore

So leave me alone, goodbye
Leave me alone, tonight
Leave me alone, I don?t need u anymore

Leave me alone, goodbye
Leave me alone, tonight
Leave me alone, I don?t need u anymore

Leave me alone, the gun in my hand is made up of all the things you said about me
The face in the dark makes me scream for you, and I close my eyes

The killer in you is hidden inside a face that smiles to hide her lies
How broken u are how heartless indecent fuck I hate u even more
