Dead Inside
Disown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a little late to change your mind
I'm no longer the one you once knew
Yesterday is gone
And so is everything I was

Now I'm for myself and no one else
Only me
I've learned this lesson well
Just look at what you've done to me

It's a little late to change your lies
I'm no longer confined to what was yesterday
It's gone
And so is everything in my eyes

Now I've forgotten
How it feels to be real
And it hurts not knowing whether
I am still alive

[Chorus]
Well, I've got this saying
"Do what it takes to get you through
Trust yourself and no one else"
And as for you
I hope you find your way to hell
And burn
Part of me is dead inside

It's a little late to change your mind
I'm no longer the one you once knew
Yesterday is gone
And so is everything I was

Now I'm for myself and no one else
Only me
I've learned this lesson well
Just look at what you've done to me

Now I've forgotten
How it feels to be real
And it hurts not knowing whether
I am still alive

[Chorus: x2]

Part of me is dead inside
A part of me is dead inside




Part of me is dead inside
A part of me is dead inside
