Confessions
City And Colour윀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been up for days
Trying to find a way to write my confession down
Seems every line I writes amiss
At least this I'll admit
I never hear that perfect sound
But then the judge walks and says
Boy you can't pretend, You've got to be honest now
My verdict has come in
It says I'm guilty for my sins this time
I thought I could escape
But then I finally felt the weight
Of my crimes
This is passion, it's not love
Infatuation never ends up right
At least I won't be alone tonight
'Cause I don't want to be alone tonight

The prosecution rests
They had convincing evidence
It seems I've been deceived
So now I stand alone and wait for the first stone
To be cast upon me

My verdict has come in
It says I'm guilty for my sins this time
I thought I could escape
But then I finally felt the weight of my crimes
This is passion, it's not love
Infatuation never ends up right
At least I won't be alone tonight
'Cause I don't want to be alone tonight
If convicted, I will surely do my time





At least I won't be alone tonight
'Cause I don't want to be alone tonight

@user-qx3ss8lk8g

주말에 안올라와서 기다리다 잤어요ㅎㅎ 그동안 다른 커플들은 보면서 다들 친구같고 자매같은 느낌이 강해서 저랑은 다른 스타일이라 잘 안보게 되었는데요. 두분은 보면서 설레임이 느껴지고 저도 같이 설레여서 기분 좋아요. 커플컨텐츠봐도 아무 감흥없던 저에게 유일하게 챙겨보는 채널이니 두분 오래보고 싶습니다😊

@EUNCHOBI
