shut up
Chicros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do I go on acting as if you were the one for me ?
How can I be dumb enough to think you'll ever love me ?
I know you never will, no matter what I say,
So why do I keep talking ? I can't stop, why cannot I just
Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up
Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up
I'm only making things worse by talking all the time
I'm boring you to death and I won't change your mind
I know you never will
