Danger
Scream Out Loud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been four years since i have seen your face
And still i can't get you out of my head
But i remember the time when you said we're just best friends

Can someone please save me from this constant nightmare
Cause i don't know how much of this that i can take
You call me pathetic but you won't call me to say hi
You never do

Say the things you know i need to hear
Just let it all come
I'll let it all come down

Cause when the music stops the rest is silent
And looking back i never thought i would be what i am today
I think it's time we get this straight
I'll cross my fingers and pray to God to somehow remove you from my mind
So i can move on with my life

Say the things you know i need to hear
Just let it all come
I'll let it all come down

This is the danger
And you were it
This is the danger
This is it

Say the things you know i need to hear
Just let it all come
I'll let it all come down





Please tell me i'm not alone in this world
