Through Hell
HoneyBadger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought you wanted me for who I am
I thought you'd be right by my side
But now I know I was completely false
I just let live and life will take its course

I went through hell for you, you never felt this like I do
Cause you don't care for love, you just like to be adored

For all the times you said it's destiny
For all the words that fill the air
For all the things you did that made no sense
For all the walls that had to fall

I went through hell for you, you never felt this like I do
Cause you don't care for love, you just like to be adored

Sometimes I dream to get
Away from falling in a web
No guilts and no remorse
Just freedom of soul

I went through hell for you, you never felt this like I do
Cause you don't care for love, you just like to be adored
