Draw The Line
Dylan Earl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was beauty
And I was wrong to think I'd keep her from my mind (from my mind)
Did I love her? (Love her)
I did love her the most
Now I can't bare to dream of her for one more night
It's time I draw the line
She left the door wide open to my heart
If I close it, yes, I'll cry
But if I don't, I might as well die
For she can make the tears fall down my face
She put me in my cold and lonely place
Count years by the day now (the day now)
And I can see how a man can build
The world around his make-believe (make-believe)
It was clear that
That you didn't really ever wanna be here with me
If I lock the door and swallow the key
Will I finally be free?
It's time I draw the line
But I just can't say goodbye
She left the door wide open to my heart
If I close it, yes, I'll cry
But if I don't, I might as well die
For she can make the tears fall down my face
She put me in my cold and lonely place
She put me in my cold and lonely place
