Shades Of Weakness
Hajva Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In sleeples nights I still recall how I felt
Time spent with you, the things I regret
Way too long I was scared to see
You were not the one to set my demons free
In the end we had nothing

Deep inside I always knew
What I need to do
Some things in life are just not worth protecting
Watching as you have changed I felt like slowly dyin'
Will I find the strenght
You always relied on

You were alone for far too long
Hoping to find a place where you truely belong
My home was a wreck as I let you in, I
Remember how deep your nails sank in my skin
But in the end
In the end we had nothing

Deep inside I always knew
What I need to do
Some things in life are just not worth protecting
Watching as you have changed I felt like slowly dyin'
Will I find the strenght
You always relied on

Deep inside I always knew
What I need to do
Some things in life are just not worth protecting
Watching as you have changed I felt like slowly dyin'
Will I find the strenght
You always relied on

Now my soul is dead




With you in my head
I can't feel a damn thing anymore
