Cheer Up
GRMLN Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so naive to think I'm holding you tonight
And I'm beaten down for catching all the lies
And I'm beaten down when I
I keep away from the girl and her broken heart
And I'll keep myself and my heart from tearing apart
Your so naive to think that every things alright
To me, you know that every things alright
To me I know when I

I keep away from the girl and her broken heart
And I'll keep myself and my heart from tearing apart
Dont break me down
Dont break me down
Dont break me down

Dont break me down
Dont break me down
