Hello Shitty
Bayside Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It seems like you're holding me down and it just seems pointless to work this thing out
So what's holding me back?
A lifelong friendship's not worth this
I'll hide this one deep underground

Convenience can comfort you now but the words that you said you can never have back
I'm warning you now, when you realize you made a mistake
I'll be sure to kick while you're down

I gave you this gift,
Now I'm here alone and I'm paying for it




Our light's almost out but I'll smile again the day that you figure out
I was all that you had
