I hope you're proud
Jamestown Story Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It hurts so much,to see you with him, I can't begin, and now I long, just for a kiss, it's you I miss...
Why, can't you try, to see, that I, am you, and you are me...
But you've moved on and now I'm gone, goodbye
Someday I will too I don't need you and I, cause this is life...
You raped my mind and tore my heart, I hope your proud, I'm now unblind, a fresh new start, what to do now...
Make the pain go away, for me...
