Souvenirs
Kristine Elezaj Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm still here today
Emotion sickness just filling up my mind
And now I'm trapped in your maze
Little pieces of you won't go
Stuck to me just like a shadow
Try to fight it but it's a losin' battle
I keep finding, I keep finding,
All of these souvenirs
They keep bringin' back the tears
I keep finding, I keep finding,
All these souvenirs,
They keep bringin' back the tears
2x I keep finding souvenirs, they keep bringin' back the tears
It was easy to let you get inside
So hard to break away
Like a house of mirrors,
I tried but I can't hide
No way for me to escape
Little pieces of you won't go
Stuck to me just like a shadow
Try to fight it but it's a losin' battle
(Why do I keep finding all these souvenirs?)
I keep finding, I keep finding,
All of these souvenirs
They keep bringin' back the tears
I keep finding, I keep finding,
All these souvenirs,
They keep bringin' back the tears
2x I keep finding souvenirs, they keep bringin' back the tears
(Back and forth, back and, back and forth, I go, I go, I go, over you
Back and forth, back and, back and forth, I go, I go, I can't get over you)
I keep finding, I keep finding,
All of these souvenirs
They keep bringin' back the tears
I keep finding, I keep finding,
All these souvenirs,
They keep bringin' back the tears
2x I keep finding souvenirs, they keep bringin' back the tears
Back and forth, back and, back and forth, I go, I go, I go over you
