Adrian Daniel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the world would see my heart
From the top of the world I'll try and say your name
Maybe from there you'll hear my pain
If I could be who you wanted all the time
All the time, all the time
But I'll yell father father as the flames burn down our love
From the mountain tops I'll scream to save our souls
I'll yell father father have I made you proud
We started from nothing baby
All over the seas they came to see this great big love
It started to drive me crazy, I didn't think that It could be all the things you'd want
But this pain is not your fault (Loving you is complicated, Can't explain it)
It's all I knew from the start
It all on me baby
I couldn't see baby
But instead a ran a muck (Loving you is complicated, Won't contain it)
I should have stayed and maned up
It's all on me baby
It's all on me
I could have made you proud
I should have shown you what we coulda been
I swear that I really loved you darling
Let me take it back and start again start again start again baby
Sometimes pride gets the best of me
And I can't blame you for not taking any more
But if I could I turn back the hands of time
Made mistakes I know that ain't right
Cause your love should have been enough for me baby
But This pain is not your fault (Loving you is complicated, Can't explain it)
It's all I knew from the start
It all on me baby
I couldn't see baby
But instead a ran a muck (Loving you is complicated, Won't contain it)
I should have stayed and maned up
It's all on me baby
It's all on me
I could have made you proud
I should have shown you what we coulda been
I swear that I really loved you darling
Let me take it back and start again start again start again baby
