Overrated
Percy Mejhagen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you about this person that i know
She lets me know that she's afraid when she's alone.
I'd like to tell her that she shouldn't be afraid
Instead i tell her to prepare for all the hell
A head

Now is the time to reveal your pain
And now is the time to confront your shame
If i am the saint then you know my name
I carried the cross and the shame all the way

This is all for you
I will let you know
You're overrated,overrated
When all is said and done
Then all i have to say
Your're overrated,overrated

There are things that you can't handle on your own
You burn your bridges and there's nowhere else to go
You try to compensate your insecurity
But all that's left beneath is just a hope to be

Now is the time to reveal your pain
And now is the time to confront your shame
If i am the saint then you know my name
I carried the cross and the shame all the way

This is all for you
I will let you know
You're overrated,overrated
When all is said and done
Then all i have to say
Your're overrated,overrated

No one will be there when you stumble
No one will be there when you fall

This is all for you
I will let you know
You're overrated,overrated
When all is said and done




Then all i have to say
Your're overrated,overrated (x2)

It’s crazy how we don’t even ask for love anymore, we just want loyalty and we are grateful. Both are so rare these days...

Maybe for some, but when you serve Jesus Christ, he will grant you the desires of your heart and it comes with LOVE, RESPECT, PEACE, HONOR, DIGNITY AND MORALS. It’s a lifestyle that’s not promoted as popular, but trust when I tell you it’s the BEST thing going out chea! #Amen #TeamJesus 🥰
