Taurus
Lacuna J Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I miss you
But not as much as you
Don't miss me
Oh how I wish I
Wish I'd kiss you
So much more when you were next to me

Maybe it's because I'm a Taurus

I feel there is something more to this distance
Jealousy is starting to rise
Insecurities I cannot hide
Beneath my surface

Oh forgive me for loving you
In this suffocating way that I'm used to
Oh how I wish I'd
Glued our palms together
Maybe we could keep the promise
Of forever

Maybe it's because I'm a Taurus
I feel there is something more to this distance
Jealousy is starting to rise
Insecurities I cannot hide
Beneath my surface

Oh am I right?
Has there been someone else
Running round your mind?
Even though you swear blind
You can never meet my eyes
When you're lying

And maybe it's not because I'm a Taurus
Maybe there is something more to this distance
Jealousy is starting to rise
Insecurities you can't deny

What you're doing is hurting
But I love you
