No More
Cacumen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My memories take me away to a land - I call the zoo
For like a tiger in a cage I am caught up in you
You're hiding in my dreams, I can't free my brain
You don't know, what you should know
No more - no more cold and lonely nights
No more - no more's the words makin' you stay
No more - no more can I hold it back
No more - your love is like a heart attack
No more - no more's the words makin' you stay
Yesterday I felt so sad - what can I do, for it's still the
Same old thing, breaking us in two
Your love is like a drug in me it's making me blind
So many times I tried so hard to get you out of my mind
You're hiding in my dreams, I can't free my brain
You don't know, what you should know
No more - no more cold and lonely nights
No more - you make me feel like dynamite
No more - no more's the words makin' you stay
No more - no more can I hold it back
No more - your love is like a heart attack
No more - no more's the words makin' you stay
You're hiding in my dreams, I can't free my brain
You don't know, what you should know
No more - no more cold and lonely nights
No more - you make me feel like dynamite
No more - no more's the words makin' you stay
No more - no more can I hold it back
No more - your love is like a heart attack
No more - no more's the words makin' you stay
