Decay
Pitou Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You see darling
I'd give you the world
But since it all isn't mine
I'll give you all
That I truly own
I'll give it to you
To live in
Take it, use it
Let it decay
Be there, live there
Make it your own boy
Make me your home
Black eyes told me
You had left me
This time for good
But fear not
You can return
I'm down
And you can have it all
All that's left of me
Boy have me
I will be yours
Take it, use it
Let it decay
Be there, live there




Make it your own boy
Make me your home
