You Make Me Sick
Swear to God Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make me sick
You were fake from day one
You never fooled anyone
You need time to reflect
Maybe you'll earn some respect
You're so concerned with your rep
You need to shut your mouth
And watch your fucking step

Watch your fucking step
You wont be shit no matter how hard you try

You make me sick
