Reflection
JHYVE///SOUL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, I'll never give up on you
The song you used to sing is swimming in distortion
Hey, I'll never give up on you
You
You
You
I can't save (save) you (you) from all the things I put you through
Or change who you are because of me
I just hate the things about myself (myself) I see (i see) in you
It's hard to tell if this is real or my reflection
Hey, I'll never give up on you
This negativity is not the right direction
Hey, I'll never give up on you
You
You
You
I can't save (save) you (you) from all the things I put you through
Or change who you are because of me
I just hate the things about myself (myself) I see (i see) in you
Push the end aloud
To let it have your soul
Listen to me now
Never lose control
I can't save (save) you (you) from all the things I put you through
Or change who you are because of me
I just hate the things about myself (myself) I see (i see) in you
You
