I Win You Lose
Home Grown Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

To the point of no return, you're shattered like a mirror
Can you last?

Standing on the over pass thoughts of getting clearer
This is your last, your last defeat
But you've got it all wrong (you've got it all wrong)
Because you waited too long
Your last defeat

We have to move on, you can't carry on
You want me to know (that you're on your own)
You've got me all wrong I don't care if you're lost
I want you to know (that we're all alone)

Threaten me with suicide, desperate for attention
This is your night
Don't want to compromise, your dying need for attention
This is your last, your last defeat

But you've got it all wrong (you've got it all wrong)
Because you waited too long
Your last defeat
We have to move on, you can't carry on
You want me to know (that you're on your own)
You've got me all wrong I don't care if you're lost
I want you to know (that we're all alone)

Sign of relief, your over me
And ambulance is on its way
Your disbelief that makes you breathe
Will be washed away when you awake

Your last defeat
Your last defeat

We have to move on, you can't carry on
You want me to know (that you're on your own)

You've got me all wrong I don't care if you're lost
I want you to know (that we're all alone)
