I.R.F. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running circles in my head
One of these days I'll chase you down
Well look who's going crazy now
We're face to face my friend
Better get out
Better get out
Make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
Know you make me breakout
You can see this on my face
It's all for you
The more and more I take I break right through
Therapy still scares me
Putting me on my back again
I may be crazy, little frayed around the ends
One of these days I'll phase you out
Burn it in the blast off
Burn it in the blast off
Watch me crawl away
Try to get out
Try to get out
You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
Breakout!
Go, go, go
You know you make me breakout
Make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
Know you make me breakout
