Don't Be Shy
Mikey and the Drags Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I meant to be alone?
I don't know hey, I don't know hey
I don't know hey, I don't know hey
I don't know hey, I don't know hey
I don't know hey, I don't know hey
I don't know hey
My heart is fucked up
It hurts sometimes
I know it's fine
But Inside I'm numb
Screaming for help
"I said please stay
Please Don't go away"
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be here baby
I know that you drive me crazy
Leave me alone
I don't want you in my life
All you bring is pain and depression on my mind
I need patience
Just to make it
Through the day I waited ages
I know that you're feeling blue
I can see right through you
No one's gonna get that but me and you
Don't ever get attached
Cause nothing lasts forever
You make me lose control
When I think bout you
I think I'll be fine
I'm running out of time
Might feel better when I die
Got some problems in my brain
I think I'm just insane
Every day feels the same
I just need to find my peace
But there's nothing helping me
All these bitches want my money they don't want my love
Shawty why she calling
Already told her I don't wanna talk
That bitch is making me so sick that I just wanna fucking die




I just be feeling down when that bitch is in my head
I just wanna get rid off her coz she making me kill myself
