Listen up
Falling In Reverse (Ronnie Radke!) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen up 'cause this is not the end,
You're the last thing that crossed my mind.
Relationships are based on trust,
Well I guess this one was based on lies,
Based on lies. Listen up to the ones you trust,
Just a few by your side.
(Your side).
Give in, everythings going to be alright,
(Here we are, the ones who make time)
Now it's time for me to go,
I know, you know, the fights are getting old.

This is the last chance I have to say to you,
So, sorry but I have to go,
Wash my hands of you.

You say, you will never change,
I say, that's too bad.
I'm sorry for all the things that you and I (could have had).
But it's your fault, all the stupid things,
That you and I have done and said.
The lies, the cries, it's no wonder that you were dead.

This is the last chance I have to say to you,
So, sorry but I have to go,
Wash my hands of you.

Your honesty, is killing me.
The page I read,
The word that said that you still love me.
You lied to me, and you don't see,
The things you've said, and now you're dead,
And that's alright by me.

This is the last chance I have to say to you,
So, sorry but I have to go,
Wash my hands of you.





Listen up 'cause this in not the end!
