I Can Tell
L. Harvey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm trapped inside my mind
It's Hell
You take what you want I'm here for that
There's no medicine that brings my confidence back
So I'm never gunna let you in
I just wanna feel the way I did before
You lost your mind
Better walk away from you before I lose mine
Thought by now we'd get through anything
But the lies creep up on you
Before you know
Who you are
If I ever make that far
Tell me I'm wrong
I just wanna feel the way I did before
You lost your mind
Better walk away from you before I lose mine
I don't know the depth of your despair
When I needed you
You just let it happen
You just let it happen
Tell me I'm wrong
I just wanna feel the way i did before
You lost your mind
Better walk away from you before I lose mine
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me I'm wrong

@Red T you know what, you kept this a discussion instead of turning this into an argument, and for that I commend you. Oh how few and far between people have a discussion on opposing views instead of turning it into a petty dissing match!
But whether you became angry or kept it wholesome, I've already said what I've said (and spell checked it).
Well if that's the case for your mum, I'm in no position to judge, good for her.
The whole Marriage, wedding, spousal, living with each other, etc has been confused and messed up! Not even too long ago it was simple, a boy (15/16/17) would see a girl (14-17) get married within a week or 2, and have relations, then stay with each other until death do them part. Now however, there are people getting married for money, papers, inheritance, show, everything else but love! Then they go through a divorce like it's nothing.
Maybe that's why nobody mentioned he's a husband, because he's had 3 chances and proven he was anything but a husband.
You should search TLC 90 day fiance, it just screams wtf!? And actually you should feel more grateful for your relationship, seeing the troubles that various couples go through.
P.s. Instagram and I hear Twitter and Reddit are the feeding ground for arguments! Actually it has 2 sides, there's the intelligent mature artistic side, then there's the fake run with the crowd even if it's into a burning building side! I'm on both 😂😅!
I troll but I don't troll, I keep everything 100%, if you like it if you don't like it, I dont care! I said my piece do what you want with it.
