Dogface Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of another end
No more fake illusions
No need to pretend
Will a Fire Burning
I walk straight ahead
Heading for tomorrow
The words you said
Will you ever realise?
It wasn't hard to say goodbye
Don't think that you love me
You don't really know Me
Don't think that I am sorry
I don't have any tears to cry
Am just through, I'm through with you
If you want to reach me
Don't even trye
This is my decision
I have made up my mind
There's new horizon
And a love to give
Far Away From anger
And the nightmare that I lived
You would never understand
What I need and who I am
Don't think that you love me
You don't really know me
Don't think that I am sorry
I don't have it in me
Don't look for excuses
Cause that ain't the answer
Don't think that you love me
I don't have any tears to cry

Cause that ain't the answer
Because that is not the solution
Don't think that you love me
Don't believe that you truly care for me
I don't have any tears to cry
I have no emotional distress to shed tears for
