Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I went to my black hole still unknown.

I know I know I know that you are gonna leave.
I know I know I know that you are gonna leave.

Will you stay for me? I won’t beg oh please.

I know I know I know that you are gonna leave.
I know I know I know that you are gonna leave.
