I'm Not Following You
Me And You And Everyone We Know Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
It used to shine and now it isn't fine
I'd rather drown in an empty sound
Than leave you all behind
'Cause I want to let you know this way
That I won't be able to watch you all decay
So go to hell
You and you're friends
And then you'll lie to them
Once that I'll be gone
You all fall to the ground
'Cause I want to let you know this way
That I found myself just feeling not okay
Just as I thought
(You were a lie)
Just as they said
(I swear that I tried)
Just as I thought
(You're nothing but lies)
Just as they said
And I'll never be fine
'Cause I want to let you know this way
That I won't be able to watch you all decay
'Cause I want to let you know this way
That I found myself just feeling not okay
I don't think they trust in you
'Cause you're the worst hypocrite
I can't tell if I'm the one
But I know that you sell yourself
