drive
Pay money To my Pain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I drive as fast as I can
To escape from everything I got
I'm not the one who saves your life
So I ditch everything I got

How many times I've tried to do this
I know I need to be stronger
But it's something I never let go
I'm stuck inside of something I've raised

I think I'm crazy down with the kingdom
Liberation from my illness
Someday I'll be fine I believe

You sneak into my heart
And you steal my jewel from me
And I feel the grip of fear
So I drive to make things clear

I'm driving faster to see the sun rise
I must hurry before it's too late
It's my last hope don't take it away
The time is running out for me now

When it's time to feel this empty
I always take the chance to run away
Like everybody does
Like everybody does

From the first light of dawn
I feel much better
I carry too much
Time to let it go
I don't need that jewel anymore
Cause I found myself deep inside of me

I drive as fast as I can
To escape from everything I got
I'm not the one who saves your life
So I ditch everyone I know

I tried to run away x5

I'm driving faster to see the sun rise
I must hurry before it's too late
It's my last hope don't take it away
The time is running out for me now

When it's time to feel this empty
I always take the chance to run away
Like everybody does
Like everybody does

From the first light of dawn
I feel much better
I carry too much
Time to let it go




I don't need that jewel anymore
Cause I found myself deep inside of me
