Hevein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We came so near, I played my part like a fool
You believed in me, I've raped your trust again
See it wasn't enough, the sickest part of me wanted your blood
Living life like a butterfly
Speck of dirt that's caught in your eye
Try to wash it away
Still you try
I've taken a step, I tripped over myself again
And I don't understand what happened to my well-laid plan
You followed me, that's when things got way out of hand
You didn't see, that I'm only human but I did the best I could
I'm doing the best I can
Living life like a butterfly
Speck of dirt that's caught in your eye
Try to wash it away
But you can't get inside
Still you try
Still you try
So you fall back on me
Things are better this way
This way
This way
This way
