So Without
Pay The Girl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm staring in your eyes, my reflection's long gone
You're tripping over lies, where did I go so wrong?

Your promises kept me believing
But now I'm watching you leaving

You got inside of me and wrecked my head
Was hanging onto every word you said
But now I'm so without you
Why do you want to make me feel this bad
You've given up on everything we had
But now I'm so without you

I'm coming up for air but sinking like a heavy stone
What's it like out there, breathing in and out on my own?

Your promises kept me believing
But now I'm watching you leaving

You got inside of me and wrecked my head
Was hanging onto every word you said
But now I'm so without you
Why do you want to make me feel this bad
You've given up on everything we had
But now I'm so without you

You wrecked my world, I'm upside down
Hollowed out and turned around




Erase my fears, I'm lonely now
Lying here, so without
