Guilt
Covered in Snow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fill it up, there’s nothing here that I – can’t compete with
I had to call, it’s all against all, Cause – nothing compares to... This
Lift it off, there’s nothing more that you – can say to me now
What should I do? I’ll disappoint you all again, I am so fucked, I am, I’m gone
Get up, straight enough. And give me the world you took back
I’m done with lies
Get up, straight enough. You’re messing again
Big boys won’t wait, you’re late
So then I tried, I took my dancing shoes again, they still don’t fit, no they, they don’t
Get up, straight enough. And give me the world you took back
I’m done with lies
Get up, straight enough. You’re messing again
Big boys won’t wait, you’re late
Nothing is forever, I’m shaking again
Just listen here I’m someone, is this all that we can?
Nothing is forever, there’s no more left to blame
Well nothing is forever, I’ll take it again
So nothing is forever, I’m shaking again





Just listen here I’m someone, it’s not like they say
Nothing is forever, there’s no more left to blame at all
