Accident
Justus Bennetts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There′s faces I don't know anymore
There's songs that I can′t listen to
Cause they don′t sound like how they did before
It gets hard sometimes, when you hearts on the line
Our stars in the sky don't shine as bright anymore now
How come, every outcome, is one that I can′t except?
I had to let you go
Just to let you know, I love you
But you didn′t call back
I had to let you go
Just to let you know I'm yours
But you didn′t come back to me
Whooo whooo whooo
I love you
Whooo whooo whooo
I love you
There's pictures I can't look at
There′s words I wish I took back
I can′t keep the promises I swore
There's thoughts I try to hold back
I still love you, I hope you know that
But there′s something that we just can't ignore
Not like before
It gets hard sometimes when your hearts on the line
Our stars in the sky don′t shine as bright anymore now
How come, every outcome, is one that I can't accept?
Cause now I′m falling out of love with myself again
I had to let you go
Just to let you know I love you
But you didn't call back
I had to let you go
Just to let you know I'm yours
But you didn′t come back to me
Whooo whooo whooo
I love you
Whooo whooo whooo
I love you
How come, every outcome, is one that I can′t accept?
It turns out I'm so afraid for what I will become in the end
I had to let you go
Just to let you know I love you
But you didn′t call back
I had to let you go
Just to let you know I'm yours
But you didn′t come back to me
Whooo whooo whooo
I love you
Whooo whooo whooo
I love you
