Adam Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

i kissed your lips and said goodbye
i bit my lip and closed my eyes

i don't want you to believe
that i don't love you
i don't want you to think
that i don't care

speak so soft my own lies
hurt myself
it's not enough to know
you don't believe a thing i say
but don't believe...

i don't want you to believe
that i don't love you
i don't want you to think
that i don't care

i kissed your lips and said goodbye
i bit my lip and closed my eyes

i kissed your lips and said goodbye
my love
