Darkness Defined
Nadia Nakai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know you're the cause of the pilgrim call
You lost lost lost
And in your words I’m crucified
And in your course I'm glorified
Why not take my heart make it what you want
Maybe then I'll survive
Without the beating inside
What would be the cost of my mind being lost
You are darkness defined

Let’s go back you so sad
Should've told your bitches and hoes to fall back
Now I got your clothes your shoes it's all packed
Yo you gotta go this home is so cracked
The walls I can't patch the life I can't plan
The wife you can't have just slipped through your hands huh
Was it worth all that you had huh
Wait tell me why you mad now
Oh it's just a one night stand huh
Nigga I hope that you strapped up
You're a joke you should go do stand up
Kevin Hart fall short with a pre nup

They say Angels fall
Those are the words
You lied lie lie

You know you’re the cause of the pilgrim call
You lost lost lost
And in your words I’m crucified
And in your course I'm glorified
Why not take my heart make it what you want
Maybe then I’ll survive
Without the beating inside
What would be the cost of my mind being lost
You are darkness defined

All you can give me is an apology right
When all I ever wanted was your honesty
It didn't bother me every time that you calling me
I hear your bitches audibly
All of them are my wannabes
I'm everything they wanna be
You see that shit ain't quality
You couldn’t even cheat right like properly
Tell me did it feel right in my property
While I'm on the damn flight changing currency, shit!
I'm winning like colossally
And I'm tired of playing games like monopoly
I'ma sit this one out with the referee
'Cause I finally figured out you a fraud to me

They say Angels fall
Those are the words
You lied lie lie

You know you're the cause of the pilgrim call
You lost lost lost
And in your words I'm crucified
And in your course I'm glorified
Why not take my heart make it what you want
Maybe then I'll survive
Without the beating inside
What would be the cost of my mind being lost
You are darkness defined

They say Angels fall




Those are the words
You lied lie lie
