Virus
Gurldoll Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't really know what it feels like
But I wanna know what it feels like
This shit's fucked up, still get fucked up
I'm so fucked up every day
Scrapin' up my knees on the pavement
Falling over, wasted
Don't know what I said, it's amazing
Living like this, constant crisis
Wipe my eyes, yeah, I can't see shit

My friends had to call my mom
To make sure that I wasn't dead
My dad cried his eyes out to me
Asking why I live like this
I don't have solutions, execution
Throw my life away
Exit life, I'm fucking sorry
For all of the things I say

Empty promises, I'm hollow
I might never see tomorrow
I'm sorry for all the sorrow
I don't wanna see tomorrow
Empty promises, I'm hollow
I might never see tomorrow
I'm sorry for all the sorrow
I don't wanna see tomorrow

I don't really know how to get fixed
Bottle give it a kiss
I swear that I'm really trying my best
Give it a rest, everyone's stressed
I'm a virus
A fucking virus
A fucking virus
A fucking virus
A fucking virus

My friends had to call my mom
To make sure that I wasn't dead
My dad cried his eyes out to me
Asking why I live like this
I don't have solutions, execution
Throw my life away
Exit life, I'm fucking sorry
For all of the things I say
For the things I say
For the things I say
For the things I say
For the things I say

I don't really know what it feels like
But I wanna know what it feels like
This shit's fucked up, still get fucked up
I'm so fucked up every day
Scrapin' up my knees on the pavement
Falling over, wasted
Don't know what I said, it's amazing




Living like this, constant crisis
Wipe my eyes, yeah, I can't see shit
