Drown
Limp Bizkit (H) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then disaster takes it's toll, and now I'm left with only me
Maybe sorrow plays a role, when you feel unkind
Your abuses matter, standing up forever lost in time
Save me
Save me
Before I drown
Save me
Before I drown
It's getting closer to the end, I look back and smile
We conquered every single bump in my road, made it all worth while
Just remember how I cared, when it came crashing down
I'd like to toast to all those angels that were always hangin' 'round
Save me
Save me
Before I drown
Save me
Save me
Before I drown
Maybe life ain't what it seems, 'cause it's all a dream
Forgive me
Sometimes I feel like a fool, 'cause I'm so uncool
Forgive me
