Innpeach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(K-Dee , PT Lauren)
I never kept those sweet pretty things over my head
I never wanted to paint my bed to ugly red
I´m silly instead
I really wanted to make you cry for me
I´m really good for , not hard to see
That I wanted so
Badly to kill you for it
Abandon you , just ´cause you taught me it
It´s so funny to watch you come clean
Shivering , I know that I´m too mean ,it´s not supposed to be seen
You really wanted to take your head over my heels




You never waited forever for me
Now it reveals that I wanted so badly to kill you for it
