Comatose
FGFC820 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I should've heard what they told me
Everything that they said about you
But I thought I knew better
Now I see that you've been untrue

Wish I knew what I know now
I should've trusted myself
I gave you everything I had
And you put me through hell

I was afraid you'd think I'm nothing
Now I feel like I'm comatose
Convinced myself maybe we had something
Or is that what I feared the most?
I tell myself that your words can't hurt me
I'm holding out for a brighter day
When everything that I love deserts me
Happiness is just a bullet away

I understand that you used to love me
Wasn't much, but it made you cry
Even now as you stand above me
I'm a victim of your fucking lies

It's too late to ask forgiveness
You're going to get what you deserve




They say you only hurt the ones that you love
It's about time that you got burned
