Taste
Adkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sweet white lies I fall into
We all crave that satisfaction
It stops us going insane
It’s just one big distraction
Hiding all the pain
And I can’t seem to get away from here
When I’m alone all I taste is fear
One more thing before I go I just want you to know
You can’t stand the taste of me
Yet you say I’m all you need
Scared of what will come to be
I need to become set free
And I can’t seem to get away from here
When I’m alone all I taste is fear
Your loves so strong it feels so wrong to keep you near
One more thing before I go I just want you to know
You don’t taste the same
I’m the one to blame
You don’t taste the same
Oh it’s such a shame
And I can’t seem to get away from here
When I’m alone all I taste is fear
Your loves so strong it feels so wrong to keep you near
Just one thing before I go I just want you to know
Yeah
