Baby One More Time
Punk Goes Pop Vol. 1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I’m guilty of some crimes
Like I’m the monster
Living under my bed
They come for me in dark times
Like I’m the only one alive
Remember those who I lost
but I don’t die
For too much of my life I wanted to die
So say you love me one more time
I’m still here so don’t you cry
But say you love me one more time
Before I die
Voice lives in my mind
tells me to try cyanide
That I’m the reason why
bad things happen
Another person in my bones
They say I’ll end up alone
Don’t believe them
But I’ll just ignore my phone
I’m still trying to leave that darkness behind
For too much of my life I wanted to die
So say you love me one more time
I’m still here so don’t you cry
But say you love me one more time
For too much of my life I wanted to die
So say you love me one more time
I’m still here so don’t you cry
But say you love me one more time
Before I die
I try to fly
But sometimes I fall
I try to run
But can only crawl
I try to grow
But I’m still small
So tell me you’ll be there
When I fall
For too much of my life I wanted to die
So say you love me one more time
I’m still here so don’t you cry
But say you love me one more time
For too much of my life I wanted to die
So say you love me one more time
I’m still here so don’t you cry
But say you love me one more time
For too much of my life I wanted to die
So say you love me one more time
I’m still here so don’t you cry
But say you love me one more time

ABR never disappoints. This and wrecking ball are my favorite covers. Their Christmas covers were good but nothing beats their PGP covers. It's so fucking intense that it just makes you wanna headbang to this song all day every day.
@mrsounds632
Joy to the world is arguably one of their best songs
@Friscom99
This has got to be one of the best covers I’ve ever heard.
@nef_
This is how you make a pop song sound better! ABR is one of the best metalcore bands out there 🤘
@satriofahmiutama2172
Neff Salas they're the best in the scene
@MassProduced
Neff Salas They are probably the best. They are the most consistent out of he genre.
@undead5FDPA7Xfanguy
Nah, there are better metalcore bands such as Atreyu, Killswitch Engage, A Day To Remember, Bullet For My Valentine, All That Remains, Parkway Drive, Bring Me The Horizon, Escape the Fate, Trivium, and possibly more. And I realize many of these bands are hated by metal elitists but I just felt like giving my opinion.
@satriofahmiutama2172
Phillip McLeod all those bands aren't as consistent as ABR, i know all bands try new sounds but in my opinion only ABR that is consistent in the genre and always improving in every album
@sleepingwithpanicatthedisc7740
Satrio Fahmi Utama if I may intervene. One band that I've really seen improvements over the past year is Get Scared their last album was freaking awesome!! they've really improved imo.
@LogdogMolehill
August burns red is such a great band!
