Darlin'
Rockweller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darlin' please don't hurt me
We’ve been through that before
I know my tears won’t lie
But they don’t hurt anymore
I know you said you’re sorry
I should have said it too
The light in your eyes getting dim
Let it out put it all on me
And I pray
We won't stay this way
Now I know I have to go
Free me out and let me burn
Darlin' please don't hurt me
We’ve been through that before
I know my tears won't lie
But they don't hurt anymore
I know you said you’re sorry
I don't believe it's true
I can't devote myself to you
Sitting alone, thinking
Reflection on the phone
Now I'm on my own
All the faith is gone
Now I'm on my own!
Darlin' please don't hurt me
We've been through that before
I know my tears won't dry
But I don't care anymore
We cannot change this story




There will be nothing new
I can't devote myself to you
