Strands
Romeo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's always me who's feeling stressed
I get the worst end
You get everything so blessed
Said you wouldn't leave but
I'm stuck here dawning
Lovely our connection tarnished
I am
Hoping you go away
Why can't you
Fuckin
Leave my brain
Pulled outta your head
Too controlling
You don't own me
Tangled in all your mess
You should've told me
We weren't growing
All of these years spent
Losing strands
Losing strands
All of these years spent
Losing strands
Losing strands
I'm so tired of looking vacant
Tried my best
To hide it
But I just can't fake it
Now all I ever think about
Is love we used to have
All I ever thought it to be
Only ever think about
The way you'd put me down
I'm speechless
Ain't no way you don't see
Oh you got me
Pulled outta your head
Too controlling
You don't own me
Tangled in all your mess
You should've told me
We weren't growing
All of these years spent
Losing strands
Losing strands
All of these years spent
