Strangled
Four Star Mary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause we both know we don't walk on the same road.... the same road
Minutes turn to a week
But we don't speak
We just shout in the same tone..... the same tone
Twisting all the fears until they strangle me
Tear down this wall
Tell me why my heart will bend
But won't mend
Is it 'cause I'm the wrong one?
Eaiser for you to find another mind
To share your thoughts
When I'm turned out.... I'm turned out
Twisting all of the fears until they strangle me
Tear down this wall tear down these walls
How much could I feel it
How much could I know
The sounds of fear..... trembles in my soul
I'm lost in here forever
Nothing's on my side
Never before , I lied
Twisting all of the fears until they strangle me
Tear down this wall
Tear down these walls
