NO MERCY
Makthaverskan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was blown away
The first boy to show me love
then takes it away the next day when I had lost myself
Fuck you for fucking me when I was seventeen
You knew it all the time
You never loved me you wanted to own me
I hope that you cannot sleep, I hope you lose all of your dreams
for taking my youth away
Now years has gone and I know you are all alone
I'm forgetting you when I'm alone
Fuck you for fucking me when I was seventeen
You knew it all the time
You never loved me you wanted to own me
Your time will come, my friend
You are my weakest past and I'm never turning back
You are my weakest past and I'm never turning back
You are my weakest past and I'm never turning back
You are my weakest past and I'm never turning back
