What Goes Around Comes Around
Down to Nothing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep up with all the lies, keep up with everything
Because no matter how hard you try everything will
Still be the same
You think you've got it all and you think that this is
Just a game
But it's going to hurt so bad when you wake up from
Your dream
You wasted everything
I can't believe I used to count on you
I can't believe that I believed you
Everything you stood for is now a joke
You've gotten away with it for now but it is not the
End
What goes around comes around

I hope that's true I know it's true
It happens to everyone and I'll laugh at your face
When it happens to you
You're going against your own beliefs
Those are some beliefs if you can't live up to what you

Preach
You just proved, that you're a fucking fake

You wasted everything, You wasted everything
I can't believe I used to count on you
I can't believe that I believed you
Everything you stood for is now a joke
You've gotten away with it for now but it is not the
End
You wasted everything, but it is not the end

I can't always say, what I want to
I can't always say, that's not right for you
And this time I won't open my mouth
You need to learn, from all the shit you've pulled
You're gonna feel real small when it comes back to you

It comes back to haunt you
It comes back to haunt you




It comes back to haunt you
It comes back to haunt you
