Grace
Future Generations Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Grace
I dont wanna see you crying now
I dont wanna see those lights go out
Over something small like me

It takes every shred of heart I've got left
To keep it bottled up in my chest
I tried my best to breathe

So if you wanna know
If you wanna know
I'm sitting in the cold
Sitting in the cold
There's a knot in my stomach
My head might just plummet
I want you i need you but
I'm just stuck I'm just stuck

Grace
I'm quickly making friends with the floor
Moneys can't support me anymore
I'm so empty
Taste
I can taste it all in your skin
It's like you've never even had some sin
To make it all so good

So if you wanna know
If you wanna know
I'm sitting in the cold
Sitting in the cold
There's a knot in my stomach
My head might just plummet
I want you I need you but
I'm just stuck I'm just stuck





There's no changing now
There's no changing now
