The Remedy
Talk Of The Town Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll give it all i've got even if it's gone
And i promise you it won't be the last time.
Do you like it? because I found it.

I once saw gray skies but now they're blue
And with all intentions to tell you how i'm feeling
I don't want to be the one that ruins it for you.
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news.
No I don't want to be the one that tells you that
Sometimes things just change.

We are set free
This new air that I breathe
Will be your remedy.

I've been looking back at what I once wanted to be
But none of that seems to matter anymore
I just want to be me.
Look at the lies you told
The hearts you stole
The souls you sold and
The people you left in the cold.
To think that could be me.. but I found my remedy.

Now you've got more on your plate this time
And you'll never believe it,
You'll never believe what I just found.

So everything you said came true
Should have never put my trust in you
Because I don't want to be...
Look at all the lies you told the hearts you stole
The people you left in the cold




I dont ever want to be...
Looking back at what I once wanted to be
