Life of Luxury
Cole Jude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything looks different now
Everything has changed somehow
I'm talking to strangers and trying so hard to prove
That everything will be alright
Today I start to live my life
But the fool inside my heart won't let it go
'Cause you've broken every promise that you ever made to me
Trading dreams for a life of luxury
So I met a girl and knew it wasn't love
But knowing that she didn't mind
Made it easy to be kind
A lover's surrender, a room for a homeless heart
Never being aware
That every moment you were there
'Cause the fool inside my heart won't let it go
And it's tearing me apart to let it show
'Cause you're broken every promise that you ever made to me
Trading dreams for a life of luxury
(You can't wait forever, and now you know
Don't ever regret her, just let her go)
But I can't, I can't, I just can't hold back
'Cause the fool inside my heart won't let it go
And each lonely night just wraps around my soul
'Cause you've broken every promise that you ever made to me
