Disaster
JoJo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm trying not to pretend
It won't happen again and again like that
I never thought it would end
'Cause you got up in my head, in my head like that
And made me happy, baby, love is crazy, so amazing
But it's changing, re-arranging
I don't think I can take anymore
'Cause the walls burned up when our love fell down
And it turned into whatever, now we're saying never
Feel the fire 'cause it's all around
And it's burning for forever and always
We gotta let it go and be on our way and live for another day
'Cause it ain't the same, my baby
Watch it all fall into the ground
No happy ever after
Just disaster
Woah, ooh, ooh

I didn't want it this way
I only wanted to say I loved you right
But now you're walking away and leaving me here to stay
So foolish of me to wait for you
To realize all the things I gave you, made you, changed you
Your dreams came true when I met you, now forget you
Don't want anymore

'Cause the walls burned up when our love fell down
And it turned into whatever, now we're saying never
Feel the fire 'cause it's all around
And it's burning for forever and always (and always)
You gotta let it go and be on our way and live for another day
'Cause it ain't the same, my baby
Watch it all fall into the ground
No happy ever after
Just disaster

You shot the bullet, you shot the bullet that killed me
Not feeling my heartbeat and now it's dying
I am through it
I-I am through all the agony
And now my eyes are drying, trying, no more crying
Lying's just a game
So disaster strikes and I'm alright
'Cause my love's on its way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Burning up forever and always, always
Yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause the walls burned up when our love fell down
And it turned into whatever, and now we're saying never
Feel the fire 'cause it's all around
And it's burning for forever and always
We gotta let it go and be on our way and live for another day
'Cause it ain't the same, my baby
Watch it all fall into the ground
No happy ever after
Just disaster
'Cause the walls burned up when our love fell down
And it turned into whatever, now we're saying never
Feel the fire 'cause it's all around
And it's burning for forever and always (yeah)
You gotta let it go and be on our way and live for another day (Just disaster)
'Cause it ain't the same, my baby
Watch it all fall into the ground
No happy ever after
Just disaster (just disaster)
Oh





Burning up for forever and always, always
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Our relationship was full of happiness and love


But it's changing, re-arranging
Our relationship is changing and falling apart


I don't think I can take anymore
I cannot handle any more pain


'Cause the walls burned up when our love fell down
Our love fell apart, leaving behind only ruins


And it turned into whatever, now we're saying never
Our love has turned into nothing, and we will never come back together


Feel the fire 'cause it's all around
There is intense pain because our love ended in flames


And it's burning for forever and always
The pain will be with me forever


We gotta let it go and be on our way and live for another day

I regret waiting for you to change


To realize all the things I gave you, made you, changed you

Your dreams came true when I met you, now forget you
I helped make your dreams a reality, but now it's time to forget you


Don't want anymore
I cannot handle any more pain


You shot the bullet, you shot the bullet that killed me

Not feeling my heartbeat and now it's dying
I feel like my heart is dying, and I cannot feel anything


I am through it
I am done with this pain


I-I am through all the agony
I am done with all the pain and suffering


And now my eyes are drying, trying, no more crying
I have cried too much, and I cannot cry anymore


Lying's just a game
I cannot pretend anymore


So disaster strikes and I'm alright
Even though there is destruction, I am okay


'Cause my love's on its way
I am hopeful that love will come again


Burning up forever and always, always
The pain will always remain with me


'Cause the walls burned up when our love fell down
Our love fell apart, leaving behind only ruins


Yeah, yeah, yeah
End of the song

I never thought it would end 'cause you got up in my head, in my head like that
And made me happy, baby, love is crazy, so amazing, but it's changing
Re-arranging, I don't think I can take anymore

'Cause the walls burned up when our love fell down

Feel the fire 'cause it's all around
And it's burning for forever and always
We gotta let it go and be on our way
And live for another day 'cause it ain't the same, my baby
Watch it all fall into the ground
No happy ever after, just disaster

I didn't want it this way, I only wanted to say I loved you right
But now you're walking away and leaving me here to stay, so foolish of me to wait for you
To realize all the things I gave you, made you, changed you, your dreams came true
When I met you, now forget you, don't want anymore

I would sacrifice myself to make this song popular. I mean everyone literally slept on it. It is so much better than the music that nowadays pop-stars put out. JUSTICE FOR DISASTER!
