Devastation
Killstation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I looked in through your window and I saw you and him
The feeling that you don′t know is waiting to begin
I don't ever wanna be with you again
Holding everything together while you pretend
Hope the memories worth the pain you′ll get
Tell the enemies forever they'll live with this
I looked in through your window and I saw you and him
The feeling that you don't know is waiting to begin

I looked in through your window and I saw you and him
The feeling that you don′t know is waiting to begin




I looked in through your window and I saw you and him
The feeling that you don′t know is waiting to begin.
