Renegade
Reigning Days Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll take one shot
You play my god
And I'll lay you down holding the fear
You sting I cry
These things don't lie
And I'll lay you down holding the fear
And we all laydown

You left my heart just like a renegade
I'm not one for coming back again
I just want to make my way back home
I'll never do it again
You get your pray just like an animal
I'm going to fight you till the day you fall
I'll never let you do it again
Will do it again
So come be my friend
We'll do it again

I'll take my chance
You fight romance
And I'll lay you down and whisper in your ear
Things change you rage
You filled my cage
And the walls are caving in
And you disappear
And the walls are caving in

You left my heart just like a renegade
I'm not one for coming back again
I just want to make my way back home
I'll never do it again
You get your pray just like an animal
I'm going to fight you till the day you fall
I'll never let you do it again
Will do it again

So come be my friend
We'll do it again

The walls of the cage are now caving in, indicating that the singer is breaking free from their ex-partner’s control. The chorus repeats, and the song ends with the singer extending an invitation for the ex to be their friend, but warning that they will never let them hurt them again.
