Red
FOR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love the way you make me
Scared to live alone
Pressured into depression
From the walls inside this home
If love is negative
You've filled me almost full
Tyrannous
Smash the windows
Underneath your rule
I tried to turn away and
Always fell right back
But it gets hard to do
When you're standing on my track
I'll learn to live the way
You'd always want me to




Complain and hate
So I can grow down into you
