Defy Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who followed his dreams and it all went to plan
But just when he thought
That he was king of it all
The only thing that made him also made him fall
Decades in he barely failed
He chose his path, stayed on the trail
On the road he met a stranger, selling things all kinds of danger
Knowing all he had to do
Is sign a paper of betrayal
And hope that it is something special
He made you lonely
It took him only
A little while to trap you with a smile
When he's gone
Just face it you can't take it
It's wrong
But you can't fight the feeling alone
Don't hide it's cold outside
Be strong
Cause he was with you all a long
Ooohoo
Yeah
He came to me asking which way
To the city of the rich poor and insane
But I don't think it I just know it
The face I see here clearly shows it
He took a bit of misery
And the path he's on he couldn't see
That trouble waits on every road and the map he owns he never follows
He made you lonely
It took him only
A little while to trap you with a smile
When he's gone
Just face it you can't take it
It's wrong
But you can't fight the feeling alone
Don't hide it's cold outside
Be strong
Cause he was with you all a long
When he's gone
Just face it you can't take it
It's wrong
But you can't fight the feeling alone
Don't hide it's cold outside
Be strong
Be strong
When he's gone
Just face it you can't take it
It's wrong
But you can't fight the feeling alone
Don't hide it's cold outside
Be strong
Cause he was with you all a long
Cause he was with you all a long
Cause he was with you all a long
He was with you along
