Shattered
Level Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're not afraid of letting go, just to be lonely
(Lonely)
It's better if I never know who's been there before me, no way
Now that I've seen the bitter truth
(That's why covering up each and every little thing's got me thinking you should take it all back now)
My path of least resistance always winds around, but never goes straight through

I've seen enough of the pieces shattered, I've seen enough of the naked truth
And there's only one day that this won't matter; when we're falling off of the face of the Earth
Face of the Earth

I've never seen a miracle happen so slowly
(Slowly)
It's pitiful how critical it is for you to show me how much you know me
I'm tired of pretending, too
(Now you're living with it, now you're living with it, you're forgiven and I'm past all that now)
Excuses never-ending, they'll come back around and haunt your every move

I've seen enough of the pieces shattered, I've seen enough of the naked truth
And there's only one day that this won't matter; when we're falling off of the face of the Earth

That's why covering up each and every little thing's got me thinking you should take it all back now
Now you're living with it, now you're living with it, you're forgiven and I'm past all that now
That's why covering up each and every little thing's got me thinking you should take it all back now
Now you're living with it, now you're living with it, you're forgiven and I'm past all that now

I've seen enough of the pieces shattered, I've seen enough of the naked truth
And there's only one day that this won't matter; when we're falling off of the face of the Earth
(Face of the Earth)




I've seen enough of the pieces shattered, I've seen enough of the naked truth
And there's only one day that this won't matter; when we're falling off of the face of the Earth

Lyrics:-

You're not afraid of letting go
Just of being lonely
It's better if I never know who's been there before me, no way
Now that I've seen the bitter truth
(Thats why covering up each and every little thing's got me thinking you should take it all back now)
My path of least resistance
Always winds around but never goes straight through

I've seen enough of the pieces shattered
I've seen enough of the naked truth
And theres only one day that this wont matter
When we're falling off of the face of the earth

I've never seen a miracle happen so slowly
It's pitiful how critical is is for you to show me
How much you know me
I'm tired of pretending too
(Now you're living with it, Now you're living with it. You're forgiven and I'm past all that now)
Excuses never-ending
They'll come back around and haunt your every move

I've seen enough of the pieces shattered
I've seen enough of the naked truth
And there's only one day that this won't matter
When we're falling off of the face of the earth

Thats why covering up each and every little thing's got me thinking you should take it all back now
Now you're living with it. Now you're living with it.
You're forgiven and I'm past all that now.

Thats why covering up each and every little thing's got me thinking you should take it all back now
Now you're living with it. Now you're living with it.
You're forgiven and I'm past all that now.

I have this cd one year now and I still listen it. Every day when I go to school and when I leave the school.I Still cannot stop listening these songs. It is amazing but everybody who has these songs are saying the same. It is something different than other albums. This band is better than anything else. Better than Korn, linkin park, Deftones. They are the best. It is like drugs you cannot stop listening to it until you die. I still cannot understand it.

KR

I'm so sad they're not on spotify anymore :( this is one of my favorite songs

Waza Plank
