Time Ran Out
Deadline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I'm sorry maybe I'm not
Not gonna say again that is your lot
Where are you going nothing left to do
Everything is over now, we are through!...we are through..

I'm gonna get away quicker than before
Already tried this time don't block the door
I'm outta here I'm going far away
This conversation's dry
That's all I've got to say

Everything has ended and there's nothing left to say or do
I'm walking out the door right now
Don't try to stop me I won't turn around

TIME RAN OUT FOR YOU AND ME




GOING NOW WE'LL BOTH BE FREE [x4]
time ran out...
