Smile Empty Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's only seem to every do
Is put me deeper in the grave
You only bottle up my rage
But I need to let it out
Because all it ever does is put me in a cage
It hurts me no one really care that your alone
And I don't know how I always seem to let it get the best of me
But I'm never gonna let it beat me down again
No, I'm never gonna let it beat me down again
Lately I've been so stressed out
'Til I couldn't even breathe
And now I'm shaking on the ground
A side of me is a dark cloud
And it needs to be released
So it can change what I'm about
And I don't know how this world can be so cold
It hurts me no one really care that your alone
And I don't know why I always seem
To let it get the best of me
But I'm never gonna let it beat me down again
Never gonna let it beat me down again
Can you see that I really wanna change
Can you see that I've opened up my cage
Can you see that now I'm not afraid
Can you see that
And I don't know how this world can be so cold
It hurts me no one really cares that your alone
And I don't know why I seem to always let it get the best of me
But I'm never gonna let it beat me down again
Never gonna let it beat me down again
Never gonna let it beat me down again
Never gonna let it beat me down again
