Weak
Erith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make no mistake
I hear what they say
My patience is fadin but I still can't run away
I want to let go
Fold down all my cards but I cant stand the thought of us being apart
It's like you wait till I feel safe before you shake the ground beneath me x2
