Going down
Crucified Barbara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was feeling kind of dizzy when you asked me out
I was young and sweet just a month ago
Now I'm old and tired and my skin is pale
Fuck desire, I was born to fall

You took me to a level where I've never been
Reaching even higher every time we sinned
I'm the one to blame 'cause you were heaven sent
I'm the one to blame

[Chorus]
So watch me now
as I'm going down
I've never been this low
yeah I'm bleeding for you

Baby come and save me
I'm such a mess
Help me inhale now
I'm going down

Every story has to end so I told you
we can only be friends and then I ran away
I'm the one to blame 'cause you were heaven sent
I'm the one to blame

[Chorus]





(I've never been this low)
