M.F.O.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It could eat you up inside
Can you see the human spirit?
Tell me why should I have to hide
And with my heart in my hand
And with my hand upon my heart
And with my heart in my hand
Don't betray your lover
You will just betray yourself
Can you see the human spirit?
Is there emptiness inside
And with my heart in my hand
And with my hand upon my heart
And with my heart in my hand
It's not like we planned
Can you see the human spirit?
Is there emptiness inside
Can you see the human spirit?
Is there loneliness inside
[Repeat refrain]
