Anson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're the bad taste that I can't get out of my mouth
The one stain on my shirt I can never wash out
I lost faith from the way you filled me with doubt
c disgrace you're a bad taste

I loved you like a 90's trend
Haunt my brain forever, if only for the pleasure
Shattered me to pieces when you told me,
When you told me

I gave you all my trust
Then you fucked me up
I never thought you for a player
c cold hearted traitor
You pushed my limits
Broke my soul
cnd all I wanna do is let you go

You're the bad taste that I can't get out of my mouth
The one stain on my shirt I can never wash out
I lost faith from the way you filled me with doubt
c disgrace you're a bad taste

My heart broke like a heart attack
I'm black and blue forever
No I can't turn back
cnd I feel like you own me cause you left me lonely
You left me lonely

I gave you all my trust
Then you fucked me up
I never thought you for a player
c cold hearted traitor
You pushed my limits
Broke my soul
cnd all I wanna do is let you go

You're the bad taste that I can't get out of my mouth
The one stain on my shirt I can never wash out
I lost faith from the way you filled me with doubt
c disgrace you're a bad taste
You're that nightmare every night I can never escape
If I found a genie in a bottle yeah I'd wish you away
I can't believe all the time we shared all went to waste
c disgrace your a bad taste

Woah, woah, woah, bad taste
Woah, woah, woah, bad taste

You're the bad taste that I can't get out of my mouth
The bad taste that I can't get out of my mouth
The bad taste that I...fuck

You're the bad taste that I can't get out of my mouth
The one stain on my shirt I can never wash out
I lost faith from the way you filled me with doubt
c disgrace you're a bad taste
You're that nightmare every night I can never escape,
If I found a genie in a bottle yeah I'd wish you away
I can't believe all the time we shared all went to waste
c disgrace, you're a bad taste





Woah, woah, woah, bad taste
Woah, woah, woah, bad taste
