Terra Naomi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i needed a new song, baby
wasn't enough
i needed a new song, baby
a song so sorry
and you tried your best to make me see
i was blind now i believe i believe
and i can see
in your eyes
what's to be
cause i told lies
sad to say
that in the end
there's only me
and i understand
that you're sick of my confusion
no it's worse than that
i feel like the cheap whore that i am
you brushed me off to see me shine
but underneath it all the time all the time
and i can see
in your eyes
what's to be
cause i told lies
sad to say
that in the end
there's only me
to say i'm sorry's not enough to make you stay with me
oh no, oh no
cause i can see
in your eyes
what's to be
cause i told lies
sad to say
that in the end
there's only me...

Somewhere out there it's still 2006 and Terra Naomi forever sits in a darkened room in her home, sending out her haunting voice into the future, asking us not to let go...

There was a time in 2007 where this song was all that I listened to, until even my parents knew all the words to this. Lost sight of it for a while, and now I feel like I'm reconnecting with an old friend. I knew all the words without thinking about them. Shout out to my teenage self for occasionally picking up musical jewels like this.
