Against the World
Flame feat. V.Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn it down a little bit (You and me against the world)
I don't wanna hinder it
It's gonna be me and him against the world (You and me against the world)
'Cause it's you and me against the world, the world, the world
They ask me, "do you love me enough that you would really give up the world?"
Can't live 'dis life no mo'
With' all o' yo' lies, I
Can't run from right no mo'
He took on flesh for me
All you took was my joy
He played his role perfectly
You played me like a toy
I'm so done with' you
I got my bags packed
I'm burnin' my bridges
'Case you try ta drag me back
Someone got me loose
Here, you can have your noose
You're like a brown recluse
I'm chuckin' up tha deuce, through
They told me it wouldn't last
They said it would never work
They told me this love would pass
But it's you and me against the world
They told me to leave you now
You're only with him 'cause you're hurt
But I'm gonna stand my ground
'Cause it's you and me against the world, the world, the world
They ask me, "do you love me 'nough that you would really give up the world?"
I did the stupidest things for you
All in the name of staying true
Embarrassing myself, had me actin' like a fool, and
What did I get in return, and
What did I get in exchange
Besides, teary eyes, broken hearts and lots of pain
Tried to hold on to what we had
But, it was never real, and
The one who loved me the most, man
I helped him get killed, man
Messin' around with' you, left
Millions of regrets, yet
The love that I rejected
Eventually resurrects
See, although I played (I'm?)
(Lately?) Betrayed (I'm?)
See that guy right there
I'm gonna save 'I'm
That's exactly what He did
After the perfect life was lived
Crucified, he would rise
Now, I'm one of His kids
