Honorable Mention Mr. Starky
Down to Nothing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forget everything that i said
I regret every word and i don't care anymore
Don't expect me to stand up for you
You talked your shit there's nothing you can do
I trusted you, you lied to my face
I shook your head i wish i spit in your face
Oh well, now we know
Computer screen, who are you? Real big man look what you can do
I found out because your friends sold you out
Now how does that make you feel?
Book my band, shake my hand, pretend that everything's cool
It's in the past, no i hold a grudge, especially after i've been betrayed
You're fucked that sucks, and i'm not sorry
You took advantage of me and you don't care
I still haven't heard an apology, by now i wouldn't take it anyway
Take it back, take it back it's too late now




You ran your mouth and backed down are you proud
Here i am, here i am say it now, you can't
