Draw The Line
Lakeview Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I understand we all have demons inside of us
Twisting every thought
Grinding them into a speck of dust
I thought I'd never let go
Not for a moment
You proved just how simple it was to forget me

So go, go just leave me alone
'Cause I'll be alright on my own
I don't need a selfish queen to take advantage of me girl,
Pack the memories and get the hell out of my mind

Back to where it all began
Childish love was at the root
I had you sitting in the palm of my hand
I thought I'd never let go
Not for a moment
But that's exactly what I'm doing and I'll be better for it
So go...
Just go...

So go, go just leave me alone
'Cause I'll be alright on my own
I don't need a selfish queen to pity me girl,
I know that time heals all

Was it so easy to throw away what we had
Every year was a waste so this is goodbye
I couldn't change a thing even if I tried

Get out of my life

Girl I think it's crazy
Are you out of your f*****g mind
I should have known
I should have seen this coming
You liar
You f*****g coward

So go, go just leave me alone
'Cause I'll be alright on my own
Baby I don't need a selfish queen or you to pity me
Girl I know that time heals all
Every year was such a waste
Correct me if I'm wrong,
I'm just guessing this is goodbye





No need for names
You know exactly who you are
