Cant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Up against a wall I heard a sound
It woke me up

If I could be away from you
The looks, the words, the things you do

And I can know I'm far away
Nothing's wrong, I have to stay

I heard a loud sound
I heard a loud sound

Tell me how you can run
I can hide, nothing's wrong

It's a game inside your head and no one wins
Where shame and pride alone will coexist
You'll be waiting in here instead
Where sleep and sweat your dreams of the right ones

Cross your heart, you've lost control again
Just hold your chest you're waiting for it to end




You'll be warm inside your ?
You'll sleep and sweat tonight for ?
