Not Again
Staind(Rockdl.net) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you feel like you're falling?
You've taken this step
In front of you is further from the truth
You fall apart in front of me again
Again!

Denial isn't the way to forgiveness
You always swore that I was wrong

Not again
No taste for the crow you feed me
Not again
It's not a matter of if I care
Not again
What an intricate web you're weaving
Did it again

So you try not to follow
While the clock fails to sleep
So here we are back where it began
And toe to toe I stand in front of you again
Again

Denial isn't the way to forgiveness
You always swore that I was wrong

Not again
No taste for the crow you feed me
Not again
It's not a matter of if I care
Not again
What an intricate web you're weaving
Again and again

Not again
No taste for the crow you feed me
Not again
It's not a matter of if I care
Not again
What an intricate web you're weaving
Again and again




Again!
Again!
