Like You
Marsh & Wassu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When my thoughts explode like radio
They broadcast into nothingness
When a chance to succeed becomes reason to bleed
It forecasts all the nothingness

I'm free of the emptiness
When you stare

When you act real tough, i can see your face
When you look at me, i can see it plain as day
You don't care like you used to
You don't care like you used to

I'm free of the emptiness
When you stare

You don't care like you used to
You don't care like you used to

When you act real tough, i can see your face
When you look at me, i can see it plain as day
You don't care like you used to
You don't care like you used to

When you act real tough, i can see your face
When you look at me, i can see it plain as day
You don't care like you used to
You don't care like you used to

I'm free of the emptiness
When you stare

You don't care like you used to
You don't care like you used to
