Reborn
The Cheap Thrills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because you’re more drunk than me
Spitting in my ears
I've disliked you for years
I don't want to be rude to you
But the only way I see
Is escaping through your tears
Embracing all my fears
You let me down
I toed the line
I wore the crown of thorns
I'm reborn
You sat me down
God knows you tried
I know you might frown
But I know you lie
I know I'm reborn
I'm reborn, I'm reborn, I'm reborn
I've been born again
This is my New Testament
Am I Judas's son?
Forgive me of my sins
You don't know where I've been
In the room there is an elephant
But the awkwardness is gone
Reborn like all the kings
You don't know where I've been
I led you on
You let me down
I toed the line
I wore the crown of thorns
I'm reborn
You sat me down
God knows you tried
I know you might frown
But I know you lie
I know I'm reborn
I'm reborn, I'm reborn, I'm reborn
I've been born again
