Something's Missing
Tartarus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's happened to my life
I know I'm more than just a game
I can't be sure
If you're that certain someone
If you're my one
If you're my one
Want to lean against you
To lean against you
So strike a note within me
And fill my heart with celestial strings
I imagine its true love I want to hear
Strike a note inside me
Fill my world with pretty things
You're a million miles away
A trillion miles away
And it feels
Somethings missing, yeah
How fragile can it be
Beyond the words the secret lies
Forgiving past
Or will I look forever
For my own wall
If you're my wall
Want to lean against you, mmm I should be
Want to lean against you, I should be
So strike a note within me
And fill my heart with celestial strings
I imagine its true love I want to hear
Strike a note inside me
Fill my world with pretty things
You're a million miles away
A trillion miles away
And it feels
Somethings missing
It's not a game to play
We should be wise, be brave, should be honest, beautiful
That's what love stories should be
You're my wall
So strike a note within me
And fill my heart with celestial strings
I imagine its true love I want to
Hear (I imagine its true love I want to)
I imagine its true love I want to
Strike a note inside me
Fill my world with pretty things
You're a million miles away
A trillion miles away
You're my wall
