All That Sh** Is Gone
Carolina Liar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's how this breaks down.
I never see things through,
I always carry the weight for you, for you.
And now I hesitate,
With every step I take
I fear my back might break
Always trying to please everyone
That I met and I ended up losing it all
But all that shit is gone,
All that shit is gone.
I guess I felt abused,
Is that something you choose?
In a cheap disguise,
I did everything for you.
Always trying to please everyone that I met
And I ended up losing it all
But all that shit is gone,
All that shit is gone.
All that shit is gone,
All that shit is gone.
I never got it right,
I always carry the weight for you.
