Papa Roach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't matter if I am your best friend
I don't think so
You're not that smart
Over and over it breaks my heart
The cycle continues time for your crime
The pain comes back in an ugly design
Her makeup smears
Over and over every night
Emotional swords slash my soul
And now the pain it takes control
I think about you
I think about me
Think about the way that it used to be
I need a bottle
I need some pills
I need a friend
And I need some thrills
A shoulder to cry on a friend to depend on
When life gets rough
Time and time again
You think about yourself before you think about me
Time and time again
You think about yourself before you think about me
It's like a fight every single day
It's always easy when you have it your way
Deep in my heart
In the depths of my soul
My selfish ways are out of control
I'm sorry that it comes down to this
I punch through the wall as I break my fist
The makeup smears
The tears that we cry
Over and over every night
Time and time again
You think about yourself before you think about me
Time and time again
You think about yourself before you think about me
You're so selfish
You're making me want to end this relationship
You're making me want to end this
Time and time again
You think about yourself before you think about me
You think about yourself before you think about me
You think about yourself before you think about me
You think about yourself before you think about me
Loving ties unwind
Lost time behind
Loving ties unwind
Lost time behind.

The pain comes back in an ugly design

Repeatedly
You think about yourself before you think about me
You prioritize your own needs and desires over mine
It's like a fight every single day
Our relationship feels like a constant struggle
It's always easy when you have it your way
Things go smoothly when you get what you want
Deep in my heart
I feel strongly
In the depths of my soul
I feel it intensely and it's a core part of me
My selfish ways are out of control
I am acting very self-centered and it's become a problem
I'm sorry that it comes down to this
I regret that it has resulted in this situation
I punch through the wall as I break my fist
I am so upset that I physically harm myself
You're so selfish
You are behaving very self-centered
You're making me want to end this relationship
Your actions are pushing me towards ending our relationship
Loving ties unwind
The connection and attachment between us is unraveling
Lost time behind
We can never go back to how things were before and we have lost time in the process

Lyrics in brazilian portuguese:
Atitude a gente tem e sorte a gente tem também
De um jeito ou de outro, pode crer que elas vêm
Mas não só pra um rolé pra muito mais que isso
O que elas querem é aquilo e você tá ligado disso
Vem, vem com tudo, me leva pro seu mundo
Toda patricinha adora um vagabundo
Se fui pobre não me lembro, se fui rico me roubaram
Meu esporte predileto é o mesmo do Romário
Não tão complicado demais
Mas nem tão simples assim
Não tão complicado demais
Mas nem tão simples assim
Minha vida é tipo um filme de Spike Lee
Verdadeiro, complicado, mal-humorado e violento
Você é bonito e eu sou feio
Sua mãe te ama, mas eu te odeio
Quem tem boca fala o que quer, só não pode ser mané
Coração de vagabundo bate na sola do pé
Zica tem de monte, zóião da até em penca
Eu tomo banho de banheira com champagne e água-benta
Não tão complicado demais
Mas nem tão simples assim
Não tão complicado demais
Mas nem tão simples assim
Você é bonito e eu sou feio
Sua mãe te ama, mas eu te odeio
Eu vim de skate, sou guereiro do asfalto
Quem fecha comigo, joga a mão pro alto
Eu vim de skate, sou guereiro do asfalto
Quem fecha comigo, joga a mão pro alto, bem alto
Não complicado demais
Mas nem tão simples assim
Não tão complicado demais
Mas nem tão simples assim
