Bars
T-Word Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I still a burden?
Am I still a burden to you now?
Fading away from sight and sound
What will you say when they take me away
What will you say?
You should have been more careful
your words forced love to crumble
You should have been more careful
Now you'll live with regret for the rest of your life
Gave up when you should have stayed
Now you'll live with regret for the rest of your life
Gave up when you should have stayed, this is goodbye
Good bye
It's so simple, When I tried to explain, you didn't believe
It's so simple, It's so simple
Oh, why do people run? Let's not live life this way
Let's not live life this way
What was the purpose of your destruction
Will you sleep sound at night?
I kept begging for the answers
You could not seem to reply
You could have saved a life
Now you'll live with regret for the rest of your life
Gave up when you should have stayed
Now you'll live with regret for the rest of your life
Gave up when you should have stayed
It's so simple, When I tried to explain, you didn't believe
It's so simple, It's so simple
Oh, why do people run? Let's not live life this way
Let's not live life this way
How could you be so naive?
Not even death could save you from me
Not even death could save you from me
I tried and tried to show you the light
You could have saved a life
It's so simple, When I tried to explain,
you didn't believe
It's so simple
Oh, why do people run? Let's not live life this way
Let's not live life this way
Oh, why do people run? Let's not live life this way
I just wanted you to stay
It's so simple, When I tried to explain
you didn't believe
It's so simple, It's so simple
Oh, why do people run?
Let's not live life this way
