Black Lab & Chris Carmack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You like to sleep alone
And I say
I miss the way you
Breathe
You say
I get away with murder
But you know I've paid
Someone I can't leave
Behind
Do you feel something
Pulling you back in
Do you see something
You wanna see again
I could be the one
I could make it up to
You
Take me back, I'm the
Lonely boy who
Who loves you
You say
My broken heart becomes
Me
I say
I'd sell it cheap to you
You say
I should
Wrap all the lies I've
Told in
10 dollar bills and
Smoke the
Money doesn't burn so
Clean
Do you feel something
Pulling you back in
Do you see something
You wanna see again
I could be the one
I could make it up to
You
Take me back, I'm the
Lonely boy who
Who loves you
Do you feel something
Pulling you back in
Do you see something
You wanna see again
I could be the one
I could make it up to
You
Take me back, I'm the
Lonely boy who
Who loves you
