Hope
Enemy You Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll remember that old place until my dying end These thoughts are like old photos that I cannot throw away On the quest for normalcy, the grass on the other side All my hopes and my fucking dreams I left burried there, somewhere far behind I'll push it down and turn my back no matter how I try Who I was and what I wanted comes flooding to my mind That girl with a cause and the prettiest of eyes All my hopes and my fucking dreams I left burried there, somewhere far behind
