Shattered Dreams
Gotham City Heart Attack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today: Never comes again
Tomorrow, I will take advantage
Today, nothing will stand in my way
Is this not worth it?
Can you see the pain I'm in, I'm crying
Can you see I hate this, hold me back
Can you see I'm not angry, I'm fallen
Can you see, can you fucking see?
I'm not free
Set me free
And all this time and all this effort will just amount to nothing
I need this
I bleed for this
Don't fuck it up
I love you
I love you, we bleed for this, let's dream together
Don't forget your honour
Don't forget your promise
I'm all here, where are you?
Divided
And there's no time for this cheating bullshit
Control
Why can't you feel my pain?
