Pictures Pt. 2
IAN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Follow the through line
Find some common ground
Two hearts bleeding
Yours makes no sound
Small talk
Kill me
Follow the through line
Find some common ground
Two spirits woven
Cut me I'm bound
I'll make this easy
Cause life is hard
Enough without me
Showing your scars
I know it's not my
Place to speak for you
But hey I miss you
Shade intended
I won't give up too
Small talk
Kill me
Follow the through line
Find some common ground
Two hearts bleeding
Yours makes no sound
I'll make this easy
Cause life is hard
Enough without me
Showing your scars
I know it's not my
Place to speak for you
But hey I miss you




Shade intended
I won't give up too
