History
Sin Cos Tan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cannot believe
all the things I had
running memories
they are too apart
feels that im stuck
inside a mystery
and now were out of luck
no sympathy

wait
tomorrow's just a fantasy
play it like a game
you can be my history
I cannot expect, the normality
oh I wont disconnect, when you are done with me
it's all that I got
it's my misery
it seems that im not
your destiny
wait
tomorrow's just a fantasy
play it like a game
you can be my history
(history)
stay, this heart is taking over me
you let me slip away tonight
a new commodity
your crime is a myth
but you wanna think im done with you
in my history (yeah)
wait
tomorrow's just a fantasy
play it like a game
you can be my history
(history)
stay, this heart is taking over me (over me)
you let me slip away tonight
a new commodity

in my history
a new commodity
