Living A Lie
Fullerton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't like your friends that I met
Living such a lie, can't look me in the eye
Maybe you've conspired with Juliet
Laughing so loud, is it a way to get around
To avoid the sound of when you wept
I'd like to give you some advice
When you think of anything do you think of us at all?
That large hole in my mind will in time grow small
I suggest you take a rest from the things to which you cling
You'll mess your mind up, pass your life up, ruin everything
So stressed out, then work it out
Ignore the doubts that you get
Can't you see you made me a novelty
I don't want to be an object
One way sign, but now its my time
To leave behind being upset.
