TRUSTcompany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll buy the way inside you,
I'll be the one to try you,
I'm standing to deny you.
I'll find a way to keep you out,
I'll be the one to face you down,
If there's a way to find you,
You've done this,
No need for words,
'cause, I felt this. (You want, you want... you want)
[Chorus]
You want to replace me, but you can't erase me,
You're losing ground,
I'll be the one that brings you down!
You try to replace me, you can't even face me
You're folding now
I'll be the one that brings you down!
But you never listened to me,
You think you can see right through me,
You cannot undo me,
You'll see never see the true me.
I'll find a way to keep you out,
I can see I'll be the one to face you down,
You try to get into me,
This time I'll be the one that brings you down!
[Chorus]
I never want to see you, want to be you, 'cause i don't need you,
You never want to face me, you can't erase me, you can't erase me!
I never want to see you, want to be you, 'cause i don't need you,
You never want to face me, you can't erase me, you're wasting away.
[Chorus]
