Guts
Payday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me know if you need a hand to hold
You know I can keep a secret, I won't even tell a soul
Yeah, I put that on my life
You're safe, you're on my side
Got a place that you can hide
Promise things will be alright

You'll be in my memories until I'm just a skeleton
Cherishing our messages I'm sick and you're my medicine
You make me soft like gelatin
I don't need the drugs 'cause your love is my adrenaline rush
I miss you so much

I'm not in love 'cause I'll never be
But I do lovе you more than I love me, yuh
You'rе the music to my symphony, yuh
You're the only one that gets to me, yuh

You could rip my guts out, tie em' up in a knot
I love you so much I couldn't tell you to stop
Ain't nobody gotta know 'bout the places we go
You got a certain kind of energy I feel in my bones
I know everything will be okay
Trust me and the words I say
We could hang out 'til the end of my days, my days

I hate your stupid face but I love you still
You ain't even got a clue 'bout the way that I feel
I can't help it, it's the way I was made
I'd take a bullet for you any day
If they want you dead, take me instead
Pull me apart, Mr. Potato Head
I'd lose a arm, I'd lose a leg
And not a single tear I'd shed
When I speak I'm spitting facts
I mean everything I said

I'm not in love 'cause I'll never be
But I do love you more than I love me, yuh
You're the music to my symphony, yuh
You're the only one that gets to me, yuh

You could rip my guts out, tie em' up in a knot
I love you so much I couldn't tell you to stop
Ain't nobody gotta know 'bout the places we go
You got a certain kind of energy I feel in my bones
I know everything will be okay
Trust me and the words I say
We could hang out 'til the end of my days, my days

You're the only I know that could really hurt my feelings
Make me feel things, think I'm healing, probably not
There be feelings that I've got
I might never go back, to the grave where they rot

You could rip my guts out, tie em' up in a knot
I love you so much I couldn't tell you to stop
Ain't nobody gotta know 'bout the places we go
You got a certain kind of energy I feel in my bones
I know everything will be okay




Trust me and the words I say
We could hang out 'til the end of my days, my days
