SILICON ESTATE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They′re not your friends
Try to pretend
That they're not your friends
It′ll come to an end

And all i wanna do
Is wake up next to you
And all i wanna see

You stairing right infront of me
I make amends
But you're trying to commence
What we know

They're not your friends
Try to pretend

That they′re not your friends
It′ll come to an end
