Frozen
Rama Duke Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that I'm frozen
Colder then your stare
Won't bow down for nobody
I know why you left

I did my best I couldn't play the game
I know I'm the one that is to blame
I only need you when I'm playing

When I'm playing

I know I was needed
I just have no love for you

I did my best I couldn't play the game
I know I'm the one that is to blame

I only need you when I'm playing
When I'm playing
