Reality
S-Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't mean to hurt you, just want your embrace
And we stay up all night, watch the sunrise
Last summer I put tears in your eyes
You'd laugh then we'd fight, you're not alright
Drive around 'til we see all the city lights
I've been doing better
Ever since you left god changed the weather
It had me realizing we were stuck in the same place
We ain't even gotta talk
Heart ain't beating when you gone
Who needs those when you're alone
Breaking feelings to the bone
Like guitars with no solo, I just hear one note
But that note don't help me no
I can't believe-lieve you
Reality, It haunts me too
I see your face through all the simple ways
Didn't mean to hurt you, just want your embrace
And we stay up all night, watch the sunrise
Last summer I put tears in your eyes
You'd laugh then we'd fight, you're not alright
Drive around 'til we see all the city lights
It's four in the morning, dreaming my whole world touring
While I'm floating away, you take it all out on me
It hits hard, no windowpane
Like my other half it's all a trap it's all aye
High on skyscraper, you're a heartbreaker
Just another person that wants my favors
But that's alright, I don't really really care
Yeah you'll tell me that you hate me, but love me next year
I can't believe-lieve you
Reality, It haunts me too
I see your face through all the simple ways
Didn't mean to hurt you, just want your embrace
And we stay up all night, watch the sunrise
Last summer I put tears in your eyes
You'd laugh then we'd fight, you're not alright
Drive around 'til we see all the city lights
No I can't, can't
