Doorstep
Showjoe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m at the doorstep of ya love
Can you open it up?
Cuz right now i’m fucked
I just need, someone to trust
Someone to trust
Feels like I got bad luck
I always come runner up
Somehow i’m never enough
Never enough for her
Had pain but you made it worse
Had scars and you made em hurt
Had you that changed in a blur
Why’d you come in my life?
Don’t leave just stay for a night
I’m always wrong I can’t do right
I even bought the things that you like
Big mistake, I made
Thinking that this could work out
To her new everything
She’s your now
Turns out she was yours all along
Guess this is my goodbye song
Would really love to find out where we went wrong
But now, i’m moving on
Moving on (Yeah)
Moving on
Moving on (Yeah)
Moving on Moving on (Yeah)
Moving on
Moving on (Yeah)
Moving on
I always win




So it’s your loss...
It was yours all along
