Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that you'll leave me here tonight
drown my tears into a river
all these lies are just the start
tear the scars break my heart
bleet it out and bite in parts
oh my god
I'm afraid
you and I not together
I want you to know
that this all here was real
I want you to know
not a fake under a peel
I want you to know
that this all here was real
I want you to know
one last look into your eyes
oh my breath is cold as ice
say my name while I remember
how I heard you whisper be my man
so save my from the pain
or deny me forever
but I want you to know
I want you to know
that this all here was real
I want you to know
not a fake under a peel
I want you to know
that this all here was real
I want you to know
you turned the page
you had for me
and thrown a way our phantasies
you turned the page
you had for me
and thrown a way our phantasies
I want you to know
that this all here was real
I want you to know
not a fake under a peel
I want you to know
that this all here was real
I want you to know
yeah
now you're gone
now you're gone
I'm done
I'm done
