Anymore
Pearl And The Puppets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You asked me once or twice
But I could never fall in line
I'm sorry

I tried to make things to right
And you said that you needed time
Without me
We're not hanging on by a thread
You said
I just had to clear my head

When all is said and done
Freed my hands of chains that bounded them
And I'll be moving on
No more misery to come knock at my door
I don't need you anymore

You call me up at night
To try and tell me all these lies
But I see

You start to realise
That I moved on and that
I'm really happy

We're not hanging on by a thread
I said
I just had to clear my head

When all is said and done
Freed my hands of chains that bounded them
And I'll be moving on
No more misery to come knock at my door
I don't need you anymore

Why won't you leave me alone
I never said to come home
I never wanted you back
I never said to come back
Never wanted you home I never said to come home

When all is said and done
Freed my hands of chains that bounded them
And I'll be moving on
No more misery to come knock at my door

When all is said and done
Freed my hands of chains that bounded them
And I'll be moving on




No more misery to come knock at my door
I don't need you anymore

This little gem spent 2 weeks at #1 in my chart in 2010. I was playing my top hits of that year and it came up. Never had another hit though.
