Dangerous Place
Molly Burch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we go again
Oh, I have been here before
It ain't easy no more
It ain't easy no more

Time will tell, I guess
When it will all be done
Who is the stronger one?
Who is the stronger one?

How did I not say it?
This is a dangerous place
How did I miss it?
This is a dangerous space
I hope I learn from my mistakes
I hope I forgive myself one day

Why did I question myself?
Why did I alter the tongue?
Love it or leave it alone
Love it or leave it alone

Constantly dreading the fair
Constantly dreading what's real
Hoping that you'd be my shield
Hoping that you'd be my shield

How did I not say it?
This is a dangerous place
How did I miss it?
This is a dangerous space




I hope I learn from my mistakes
I hope I forgive myself one day
