GRMLN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My back stuck to the floor.
I should've seen this coming,
Coming outside the door.
It's killing my time to see your way,
When nothing comes above.
What I would lose again.
I told you.
I don't mess around with the way you feel, again.
It's weighing me down to see you face,
Every single day.
I know it's wrong for me to feel this way.
It's killing my time to see your way,
When nothing comes above.
What I would lose again.
I told you.
I don't mess around with the way you feel.
I don't mess around with the way you feel.
I never wanted this.
I told you so.
I never wanted this.
I told you so.
I never wanted this.
I told you so.
I never wanted this.
I told you so.
Didn't I?
