Lily Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When we were growing up you always looked like you were having such fun
You always were and you always will be the taller and the prettier one
People seem to love you
They gravitate towards you
That's why I started to hate you so much
And I just completely ignored you

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long

It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong
I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years
All the pain I've caused you
The constant flow of all the tears
Believe me when I say that I cannot apologize enough
When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love
And if it's not too late
Could you please find it deep within your heart
To try and go back go back to the start
Go back to the start

I've been so evil with my constant invasions
But you made it so easy for me
You always rise to the occasion
I'll always pull you up on every stupid thing that you say
But I found it so entertaining
Messing around with your head

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long
It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong
I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years
All the pain I've caused you
The constant flow of all the tears
Believe me when I say that I cannot apologize enough
When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love
And if it's not too late
Could you please find it deep within your heart
To try and go back go back to the start
Go back to the start

Go back to the start
Go back to the start

This is not just a song
I intend to put these words into action
I hope that it sums up the way that I feel to your satisfaction

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long
It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong
I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years
All the pain I've caused you
The constant flow of all the tears
Believe me when I say that I cannot apologize enough
When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love
And if it's not too late
Could you please find it deep within your heart

To try and go back go back to the start
Go back to the start

When we were growing up you always looked like you were having such fun
You appeared to enjoy life so much when we were younger

You always were and you always will be the taller and the prettier one
You have always been and always will be taller and more beautiful than me

People seem to love you
Others adore you

They gravitate towards you
They are drawn to you

That's why I started to hate you so much
That's why I developed strong feelings of dislike for you

And I just completely ignored you
And I pretended like you didn't exist

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long
I don't understand why I continued to act that way

It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong
It's entirely my fault and I apologize even though you did nothing wrong

All you ever wanted from me was a small gesture of affection

And if it's not too late
And if there is still a chance

Could you please find it deep within your heart
Could you please try to forgive me

To try and go back go back to the start
To try and start over, like we were before

I've been so evil with my constant invasions
I have been terrible with how often I bothered you

But you made it so easy for me
But you always let me treat you poorly

You always rise to the occasion
You always handle things with grace

I'll always pull you up on every stupid thing that you say
I always point out whenever you say something foolish

But I found it so entertaining
But I found it amusing

Messing around with your head
Playing mind games with you

This is not just a song
This isn't just a piece of music

I intend to put these words into action
I plan to act on what I'm saying

I hope that it sums up the way that I feel to your satisfaction
I hope this adequately expresses my true feelings

Go back to the start
Let's start over, like we did before
