The truth
Like Vultures Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What if I can't forgive you for all the awful things you put me through?
This is your answer, you're not above the truth.
Go.
I'm at my breaking point.
Had everything to lose.
I tried building myself a life now it's all gone thanks to you.
Thought I could be something more, now I'm staring at the floor!
I know it's hard for you to understand all I ever wanted was the truth.
Now you're stranded alone.
Show me the door, you shunned me from your home.
It looks like you wanted to leave me high and dry!
What the hell is going on with you these days?
Always you're second guessing, trying to keep me stressing.
You skeptics you're so relentless but it's all that I'm expecting from you anymore.
What if I can't remember all of the love that I had for you?
When this is over will you even have a clue?
I'm at my breaking point.
Had everything to lose.
I tried building myself a life now it's all gone thanks to you.
Thought I could be something more, now I'm staring at the floor!
I know it's hard for you to understand all I ever wanted was the truth.
Now you're stranded alone.
Show me the door, you shunned me from your home.
It looks like you wanted to leave me high and dry!
All I ever wanted was the truth from you.
It's all you had to do, now all I have to say is fuck you!
All I ever wanted was the truth
All I ever wanted was the truth
OH
Now you're stranded alone.
Show me the door, you shunned me from your home.




It looks like you wanted to leave me high and dry!
Get up!
