Dark That Follows
Evans Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's just so many things you never needed to say
Like I'm your other soul, but you collect them all
Your tears are meaningless, they're written on your face
Just like your empty words, just like the chemical
Just like the disease that stains you lips tonight
You are the disease that's in my life

If its no one's fault, there's just no one to blame
And nothing to say
This time its no one's fault, so there's nothing to save
And no one to hate, but I want to so bad
Believe me

There's just so many ways you never needed to be
Like cuts of empty space that never leaves your side
Now wipe that stupid look off of your face
You're not the finest one
You're not the only one
You're just a disease that stains her lips tonight
You are the disease that's in my life
If its no one's fault there's just no one to blame
And nothing to say
This time its no one's fault so there's nothing to save
But I want to so bad, believe me

We're great in small doses, I pronounce it
You're set aside, loving me
You're so proud of yourself and your disadvantage to me
It's just something you love to say
The greater the dosage, makes me mispronounce it to be
You're dead inside of me (you're dead inside)
You're dead inside of me (you're dead inside)
But when you're alone, and no one knows
It doesn't seem to matter
You're the same inside of me

If its no one's fault there's just no one to blame
And nothing to say
This time its no one's fault so there's nothing to save
And no one to hate if I say, "I want you so bad"




It doesn't matter, don't believe me
You're just the disease that was in my life
