Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do I still fall
We were staying up late night
Talking bout the good times
Didn’t know that this was on your mind the whole time
I was there the whole time
You are out of your mind
No reality to find, yeah
That I’d be by your side
Why can’t I think
Normally since that time
You still don’t think
About my state of mind
Since you been gone
I can’t control my life
I could tell you was lyin‘
By the way that you hidin‘
Ran away when we‘re fightin‘
Now you still keep on cryin‘
Why you gotta keep tryin‘
To get me back? No buyin‘
Theres no Bond, Theres no tyin‘
And No need for denyin‘
Anxiety on my mind
Wanted this to be a new chapter of my life
You still try to drag me back to my old kind
When I wake up, I see your face besides mine
I was there the whole time
You could have talked to me kind
You’re still out of your mind
Carousel in my life
Why would you think
That I’d be by your side
Why can’t I think
Normally since that time
You still don’t think
About my state of mind
Since you been gone
I can’t control my life
Why would you think
That I’d be by your side
Why can’t I think
Normally since that time
You still don’t think
About my state of mind
Since you been gone
I can’t control my life
And I still feel down
