My Disease
The Letter Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wasn't I there for you?
Shedding my tears for you?
I never trusted you
You stuck your knife in me
You tried to make me bleed
You're not sorry
You are my disease
You keep on killing me
I never should've let you in my heart
I'm trying to believe
You're not the enemy
I'm better of without you
Don't think you're coming back
I put my faith in you
Wasted my time on you
Twisted the words
Crooked lies
Everything that you did
Led me straight to my grave
You're not sorry
Still not sorry
You are my disease
You keep on killing me
I never should've let you in my heart
I'm trying to believe
You're not the enemy
I'm better of without you
You are my disease
You keep on killing me
I never should've let you in my heart
I'm trying to believe
You're not the enemy
I'm better of without you
You are my disease
You keep on killing me
I never should've let you in my heart
I'm trying to believe
You're not the enemy
I'm better of without you
Oh
I'm better off without you
