Insane
Jimmi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I still remember the first time
I held heaven in my hands
I wish I could but I can't stop
Falling victim to your dance
Cause you broke me in pieces
And strung me out like a guitar
You tore out all my stitches
You threw salt and venom at my scar
I can't pretend I don't miss you
I can't pretend I don't care no more
You know I'd die just to kiss you
You know I'd still drop my knees to the floor
I can't pretend that it's alright
I can't pretend that I'm thinking straight
Cause I still think about you all night
And I swear I'm 'bout to go insane
Yeah, I swear I'm 'bout to go insane
It's been a few months but I'm still
Hungover with no plans
I tell myself that it's not real
That I should take another chance, at romance
Cause I'm stuck here on your bridges
But you set them on fire in the dark
I'm done with new religions
I'm hopeless and wishing on a star
(Got me wishing on a star)
(Got me wishing on a star)
I can't pretend I don't miss you
I can't pretend I don't care no more
You know I'd die just to kiss you
You know I'd still drop my knees to the floor
I can't pretend that it's alright
I can't pretend that I'm thinking straight
Cause I still think about you all night
And I swear I'm 'bout to go insane
Yeah, I swear I'm 'bout to go insane
(I swear I'm 'bout to go insane)
(Yeah, I swear I'm 'bout to go insane)
As I feel the bullet enter my brain
I pray to God you never have to feel this pain




I hope I didn't do it in vain
Cause it takes a lot of courage to go insane
