Depression
States & Capitals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fill my head with voices
Speaking what you said
And i can't let go
I've never been so nervous
In my home sweet home
But no one understands me
Haven't you done enough?
Oh and it was just a secret
Guess i couldn't keep it
It was never enough
And you were the last one i could see
Before we lost all of me
And here in the clouds, we all pretend we're make believe
She set it right there in front of me
She set it right there in front of me
Forget what you taught
I got lost in hopeless
And it's all my fault
So take me to a whole new world
Where i could be my only surface
Just leave me on the bathroom floor
Cause no one understands me
I don't understand me
Haven't you done enough?
Oh and it was just a secret
Guess i couldn't keep it
It was never enough
And you were the last one i could see
Before we lost all of me
And here in the clouds, we all pretend we're make believe
She set it right there in front of me
She set it right there in front of me
No one understands me
I don't understand me
Haven't you done enough?
Oh and it was just a secret
Guess i couldn't keep it
It was never enough
And you were the last one i could see
Before we lost all of me
And here in the clouds, we all pretend we're make believe
She set it right there in front of me
