Shut up
Blink 182 (By Victor BOI) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm going fucking deaf
You're always too loud
Everything's too loud
Now that all my friends left
This place is fucking dead
I want to move out
This shit has got to stop
I'll run away
Get the fuck up she said
Your life is meaningless
It's going nowhere
You're going nowhere
You're just a fuck up she said
I'll live alone instead
She said "you don't care"
I know I don't care
I'll never ask permission from you
Fuck off I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home
I got too fucked up again
And passed out on the plane
Tried to forget you
I can't forget you
No sleep on this flight
I'll think about the nights
We had to get through
How did we get through?
I'll never ask permission from you
Fuck off I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home
I'll run away
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave
I'll never ask permission from you
Fuck off I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home
I'll run away
I think it's time for me to leave (I'll run away)
I think it's time for me to leave (I'll run away)
I think it's time for me to leave (I'll run away)
I think it's time for me to leave (I'll run away)
