Crush
Avril Lavigne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make me lose control
Your fingers on my bones
I'm slipping through the floor
So baby, don't crush me
'Cause there's no exit here
No way to disappear
There's not a single tear
So baby, don't crush me

It's just the way you are
The way that you walk
The way that you talk
The way that you read me, baby
And honey don't hide
That look in your eyes
Darlin', it drives me crazy
And don't crush, don't crush me, no
Say you'll remain

I'll let you take the wheel
My heart is yours to steal
Yeah, I know this is real
So baby, don't crush me
The petals to the floor
And now were heading off
Been down this road before
So baby, don't crush me

It's just the way you are
The way that you walk
The way that you talk
The way that you, you read me baby
And honey don't hide
That look in your eyes
Darlin' it, it drives me crazy

Don't crush (don't crush)
Don't crush me, no (don't crush me, no)
Say you'll remain my love

And now that I finally found ya (I just can't live without ya)
You're making me so all about ya (I just can't live without ya)
I don't know what I gotta do
If I ain't got you
Because

It's just the way you are
The way that you walk
The way that you talk
The way that you read me, baby
Honey don't hide
That look in your eyes
Darlin', it drives me crazy

Say you'll remain my love
Don't let my heart break
And crush
Don't crush (the way that you walk), don't crush me, no (the way that you talk)
(The way that you, you read me baby)
'Cause I've crushed (and honey don't hide), I've crushed, oh (that look in your eyes)
Darlin' it, it drives me crazy)




Don't crush, 'cause I've crushed
Ooh, ooh, ah

@thiagomarinho902

This album is like a slap on those people's face who say that she had been replaced. Cuz only real Avril can do this. Only she can go against the current. She doesn't follow new trends. She does what she want and that's what makes her different from the other artists...

@aditibisht22

Yes!
