House
IT Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chasing a feeling, breaking and dealing
This is what I put us through
What will it take to make it up to you?
Lost and I'm pleading, this hopeless feeling
I wish that I had told the truth
What will it take to bring me back to you?

We're falling apart
Cos you won't let me in, for now
We're falling apart
Show me how to to fix this, some how

Just when I think I fixed this thing, what do I do?
Fuck it up again!
I promise you that I will change
Just give me one more chance to prove my case

We're falling apart
Cos you won't let me in, for now
We're falling apart
Show me how to to fix this, some how

I take and take and take, until there's nothing left to save
We're falling apart
We fight and fight and fight, until everything breaks
We're letting this fail

We're falling apart
Cos you won't let me in, for now
We're falling apart
Show me how to to fix this, some how

It starts at 9 it ends at 5
I bottle it up just to ruin your life
You're sitting and waiting, even though I think you know
unhappy life unhappy wife, I drink every night
Just when I think it's over, all we do is fucking fight
We do this every night, will we be alright
I've given so much, now I'm losing sight

We're falling apart
Cos you won't let me in, for now
We're falling apart
Show me how to to fix this, some how
We're falling apart
Cos you won't let me in, for now




We're falling apart
Show me how to to fix this, some how
