Never Change My Way
D.S.B. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just in time, I realized
Your words, not true
Everything or nothing
It was hard for me to do

What I decided, not forever
You, for me is history
You have twisted me, talking to a wall

Just keep away from me

So if you ever cross my way
If you ever cross my way
So if you ever cross my way
I won't be hiding, hiding away from you

In the morning when I wake up
My mind is full of hate
But nothing lasts forever
For you I stay awake

I was the crown, you are the poison
Like a shadow, hanging over me
Thrown away the key, just keep away from

So if you ever cross my way
If you ever cross my way

So if you ever cross my way
I won't be hiding, hiding away from you

In case you cross my path
