Just Because
Kevin Garrett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter how hard I try itโs never enough
Oh girl Iโm still searching for your love
Still still searching for it
Nobody needs to know if thatโs what you want
But I donโt keep coming over just because
No still searching for it
Still still searching for it
Damn the voices in my head saying I need it
Cos youโre playing games with everything and I canโt beat it
Throwing me a glance and acting like I wonโt see it
And youโre calling me every night but I know you donโt mean it
Hold me back my mindโs on the move
Iโm not a fool, I know Iโm gonna lose you
Quit the lies and tell me the truth
What do I gotta say?
Cos Iโm still searching for your love
No matter how hard I try itโs never enough
Oh girl Iโm still searching for your love
Still still searching for it
Nobody needs to know if thatโs what you want
But I donโt keep coming over just because
No still searching for it
Still still searching for it
Why do you keep trying to make me feel so alone girl?
Iโm the one whoโs always been good in my own world
And even when I am over it, you could say the right words
But itโs too hard coping with how we never got it right girl
Hold me back my mindโs on the move
Iโm not a fool, I know Iโm gonna lose you
Quit the lies and tell me the truth
What do I gotta say?
Cos Iโm still searching for your love
No matter how hard I try itโs never enough
Oh girl Iโm still searching for your love
Still still searching for it
Nobody needs to know if thatโs what you want
But I donโt keep coming over just because
No still searching for it
Still still searching for it
Still searching for your love
No matter how hard I try itโs never enough
Oh girl Iโm still searching for your love
Still still searching for it
Nobody needs to know if thatโs what you want
But I donโt keep coming over just because
No still searching for it
Still still searching for it
