If you don't know now you never will
Drugdealer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till I can't tell where anybody's coming from
and If you don't know now you never will
Feels like I'm falling
For things that are hard to know
And I get sold to strangers when they come around
And the same songs play that always do
And I don't wanna feel
Like my love is all in vain
How u know it's real
you're the
The only one to blame
I'm tryin to hold on to things that are hard to keep
Ive spent a lot of my life down on easy street
But if you don't know now you never will
And I don't wanna feel
Like my love is all in vain
How u know it's real
you're the
The only one to blame
