The Truth Nobody Knows
Swim to Drown Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the end
The end of a story
Story that shouldn't have began

This is the end
The end of a story
Story that shouldn't have began

Deception, deceit
What a way to feel a faked feel
This sorrow
Awakened by the one i trusted
Now i realize
Fairy tales are lies
All the chatting and talking, the way of looking and flirting,
Everything you did in front of my blind eyes

This is the end
The end of a story
Story that shouldn't have began

This is the end
The end of a story
Story that shouldn't have began

It's tough to know
But it's harder to see it by your own
The impotence
Of see you touched by other hands
Cannot understand
The way you threw our life away
A reason
You're looking for

And in the darkest day of my life
With the feeling that i won't survive
Did i deserve this?
I can forgive, but i cannot forget

But i cannot forget
Get this

And is nice to listen to the words
That you want to
Worthless ones

It's hard to see
You and me
Broken down like this

I can't live like this
I can't live like this

This is the end
The end of a story
A story that shouldn't have began

This is the end
The end of a story
A story that shouldn't have began

Existance makes sense
Now that my world falls on me
An unforeseen ending
Between you and me

It's like i need to rip off my heart

In my chest a heartdache that never stops
It's hard to fight depression with fake love
