Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know that you won't even try
Don't wait for me to help you
Too late for any of my advice
No trust
All I got is lies
Boring
Misplaced your values
Forgot the importance of being right
Don't sit there and act humble
I've heard your story a thousand times
No trust
All I got is lies
Boring
Alright
