Don't Take It All Away
Graveltrap Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't say it's alright, don't say its over
Don't talk about me now
Feelings i can't hide, im scared you'll deny
It's not always my fault

Im sitting in my own
Dillusions again
Dont hurt me, im not like you
Have no strength i cannot fight you
All these things are, fucking me up
Cannot take no more abuse and
You act like, you don't fucking care
Like you said im goin nowhere
Does it always have to be about you

Someday you'll regret, those things you told me
I wont be there for you
I hope your happy, living your new life
Your glad you left me here

Im sitting in my own
Dillusions again

Dont hurt me, im not like you
Have no strength i cannot fight you
All these things are, fucking me up
Cannot take no more abuse and
You act like, you don't fucking care
Like you said im goin nowhere
Does it always have to be about you

It's what you wanted me to need
It's what you wanted to succeed
The way i feel when your not around
Smashing confidence in grounds

Dont hurt me, im not like you
Have no strength i cannot fight you
All these things are, fucking me up
Cannot take no more abuse and
You act like, you don't fucking care
Like you said im goin nowhere
Does it always have to be about you





Don't take it all away!!
