Slave
Airbag Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a while
Since you left me
I never wanted it to end up
Like this

Is it you or is it me?
Did I lose the faith?
I need someone to be here
I need someone to care

But you make me feel so small
You break me down and leave me wanting so much more
But I can be a slave again
So come back to me
Don't leave me all alone

Oh, the sweetest taste
They are in my veins
And I can see so much clearer now,
With you

No matter how hard I try
No matter how bad I feel
I need you to be here
'Cause I'm never satisfied

But you make me feel so small
You break me down and leave me wanting so much more




But I can be a slave again
So come back to me, I'm right here all alone

Amazing Lyrics with great music!

KostasJP

I agree, it also makes more sense with ''can''. I believe the lyrics found on metrolyrics are the most accurate, as far as I can tell.

Hugh Mungus

its actually "can" not "cant", at least from what ican hear & other lyric sites seem to say. which makes it an even sadder more bleak meaning
