Aliceband Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has nothing else been left for me to use?
And I know it took a lot of guts to stop mid flow and eye me up
And down they go as mine rise up to meet your salty little eyes.
And lots of people lots of sides, have been taken,
Lots of people have been to show me mistakes im making,
And what went wrong was other men, was other people who pretend
We were more important than them,
We are, we were, rushed into this, dust is settling
And I miss you now,
Now that you're gone, now that you see what I really was,
And I know mistakes were made,
I kinda thought you'd try to change,
I kinda thought you'd love me more,
Now times are changing you're just bored.
With a hurried glance and sideways
Step, (time never was something you kept)
Except for now, apparently, you have no time for me.
An ambush planned but never seen, as if remembering a dream,
I thought I had something to say but now you're gone and so are they.
And lots of people lots of sides, have been taken,
Lots of people have been to show me mistakes im making,
And what went wrong was other men, was other people who pretend
We were more important than them,
I know its so, its not over.
We are, we were, rushed into this, dust is settling
And I miss you now,
Now that you're gone, now that you see what I really was,
And I know mistakes were made,
I kinda thought you'd try to change,
I kinda thought you'd love me more,
Now times are changing you're just bored.
I don't remember how it was, when we first kissed I think I paused,
I stopped to think am I a whore, 'cause I didn't think of you,
I just get angry when im bored, when it is dark you're lost for words,
He hasn't learnt the basic flaws that make me who I am
And lots of people lots of sides, have been taken,
Lots of people have been to show me mistakes im making,
And what went wrong was other men, was other people who pretend
We were more important than them,
I know its so, its not over.
We are, we were, rushed into this, dust is settling
And I miss you now,
Now that you're gone, now that you see what I really was,
And I know mistakes were made,
I kinda thought you'd try to change,
I kinda thought you'd love me more,
Now times are changing you're just bored.
