Martin Garrix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh

Can't you see you're not ready?
My arms are getting heavy from the weight of the world
It's up to me and I'm getting sweaty
Is it too much to hold?

A thousand voices whisper noise
They plan my fall from grace

Whoa-oh, I know
Say you want a hero, you don't
Say you want a savior, pull you off the ground
Then you wanna blame me when you're falling down
Whoa-oh, I know
Don't wanna be your hero, oh no
When's it gonna sink in that we're sinkin' and fallin' apart?
'Cause love don't last in the dark

Can't you see you got old?
You waited too long and you let time go
Place your bets when it all comes down
Fold your cards and you blame the house

A thousand voices whisper noise
They plan my fall from grace

Whoa-oh, I know
Say you want a hero, you don't
Say you want a savior, pull you off the ground
Then you wanna blame me when you're falling down
Whoa-oh, I know
Don't wanna be your hero, oh no
When's it gonna sink in that we're sinkin' and fallin' apart?
'Cause love don't last in the dark

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Love don't last in the dark
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Can't you see you got old?
You waited too long and you let time go
Place your bets when it all comes down
Fold your cards and you blame the house

Whoa-oh, I know
Say you want a hero, you don't
Say you want a savior, pull you off the ground
Then you wanna blame me when you're falling down
Whoa-oh, I know
Don't wanna be your hero, oh no




When's it gonna sink in that we're sinkin' and fallin' apart?
'Cause love don't last in the dark
