FM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It started off with a one by one
Say your prayers cause it's not that fun this time again without you
I just wanna go again without you
Breakdown
Take it from the same place
No space I don't ever wanna see this face again
I don't want this to end
Look for a way out
Take a single breath and try to hold it in now
Fresh breaking self-doubt
I've been in and out and now I'm hoping I found closure
I just wanna feel nothing
Wish I held on to something thing
Bitch don't try cause I'm off it
Fucked around behind your back
Now there's no chance you'll take me back
Now I'm wide awake with my eyes closed
Can I move on? Cause I don't know
Luck runs out and time only seems to catch up
I'm chasing smoke but I know it's all love above
Something that I can't touch take time no rush
Make amends these kids wanna be famous
I've lost closed friends but I know it's all love above
Something that I can't touch take time no rush
Back when it was mine
Stepped too far and I crossed the line
Always on my mind
Think I need time
Waiting for hope I know I'll find
Stepped too far and I crossed the line
Always on my mind
Think I need time
Waiting for hope I know I'll find
It started off with a one by one
Say your prayers cause it's not that fun this time again without you
I just wanna go again without you
Breakdown
Take it from the same place




No space I don't ever wanna see this face again
I don't want this to end
