Angie Arsenault Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn the lights down low
Don't look into my eyes
I hate the way your smile is fading
Fading as I'm wondering how to get through this

Do you numb the pain?
Or do you feel the shame?
I found a love I cannot have

And it's breaking me

And still I wonder how can I be all?
All that you want, I can't be all...
If I don't even know what I am about
Am about...

It was truth or dare
Candles everywhere
You found the scars beneath my skin
Now you're breaking me

And still I wonder how can I be all?
All that you want, I can't be all...
If I don't even know what I am about
Am about...

I see the rising of a fortress
Built around myself
Brick by brick I tear it down

All
All that you want, I can't be all...
To the one by one
The bricks come down the wall

Just another

Just another
Just another brick in the wall [x5]
