It's Over
Late Tuesday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's over, I've told you so
And you admit it but you will not let me go
You say you miss, you say you love, I say you lie
You say I've hurt you but why am I the one who cries

And I try to settle down, but you're a little bit unnerving
And as my walls they tumble down
You still won't set me free, it's over

I'm running fast, I'm running wild, I'm running scared
I'm scared to lose you, does nay part of this seem fair?
I'm wasting life, I'm wasting breath, I'm wasting care
I waste my thoughts on you when you are never there

And I try to put you down, but you're a little bit unworthy
And as my walls they tumble down
You still won't set me free it's over

I can't break away




You have my heart - let it go
Or do you ever know?
