Don't Call Me Tonight
Tear It Up Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cant take no more mind games
My body cant take more scars
What the fucks with you anyway
I thought it was better
Another fraud, another fucking farce
Distraction's no option
No salvation in sight
You make me feel worthless
Dont call me tonight
Scratches and slit writs
You made me feel like this
Nothing left but the end
Or to walk away
I can tell you wouldnt care either way
Distraction's no option
No salvation in sight
You make me feel worthless
Dont call me tonight
If i could treat you like shit then youd love me forever
I never wanted it to be like this
I never wanted to leave you behind




But i could tell you never really gave a shit about me
You seemed to delight in watching me cry
