Artist vs. Poet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel alone
Been out on my own
I feel like you don’t even notice
Feel like your so overrated
I’m done with your hatred
Trapped up in emotion
Caution my motive
Tied up in the ocean

Thrown out in the boat and
I feel like you just put a gun to my temple and don’t give a fuck if I tell you just blow it uh
You used to lift me up and pull me up out of my misery uh
Now you so distant uh
Now you be acting so different uh
You used to lift me up and pull me up out of my misery cup uh
Now you so different uh
Now you be acting so different just
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
I feel like you don’t give a fuck if I live or I die
I’m trapped now let me go
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
Let me go let me go
I feel like you don’t give a fuck if I live or I die
I’m trapped now let me go
I still can’t feel my face
I think I’m Okay
I hide my pain away and try
Why can’t you let me go
Why can’t you let me go
Why can’t you let me go

Feel like you don’t give a fuck if I live or I die
Just try and let me go
