Split Ends
Bar Italia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't feel like waiting for you anymore
I don't care what you say to me
I don't care anymore
I don't care what you say 'cause it gets on my skin
I don't want you, be sorry, you are but a chain

I don't swim in the rain 'cause it gets on my skin
I don't try to be sorry, I already am
I don't swim in the rain 'cause it gets on my skin
I don't try to be sorry, I already am




I don't swim in the rain 'cause it gets on my skin
I don't try to be sorry, I already am
