Eyedress Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Instead i act weak
Don′t know any better
Just don't want you to be mad at me
Don′t bring the past up
It's got nothing to do with us
Don't know how to be strong
Don′t know what i did wrong
Tell me what′s on your mind
Just tell me what's on your mind
Tell me what′s on your mind
Kiss me like it's the first time
You fell in love
Kiss me like it′s the last time
You'll fall in love
I always want your love
Even when we fight
I don′t think of giving up
It's gonna happened sometime
Sometimes we'll fight
I′m not always right
