Forever Yours
Scarlet Fade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slowly, on my knees
I?m falling to a drama scene
And I can?t quite, make this out
But it seems like everyone is falling
Falling out of love
Chorus:
If I?m gonna love you
I?m gonna do it my way
This is not how it works
If I do not know you
I don?t want to be forever yours
Verse:
Holding, on so tightly
Breaking, every time you call me
Time is counting down the moments
When we should be honest
I?ve gotta do what?s best
Bridge:
It?s hard to be lonely
But I can?t let you
Take what is mine
