Can't Help Myself
The Luka State Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your Eyes, Spill the longest lies
Looking in to mine
And I don't get it, I don't get it now
Your spiteful tongue, will only do you wrong
So it's time to make a change

Whilst you're still here
It only burns my head

After all this
I can't be forgiven
I can't forgive you
After all this
After all this
I need to see this through

I can't help myself

You need to meet your personality
A realistic check upon reality
Cause no one acts like you
I can't say that you are ever gonna change
Only if you learn from your mistakes
But not up in my time
Whilst you're still here
It only burns my head
After all this
I can't be forgiven
I can't forgive you
After all this
After all this




I need to see this through
I can't help myself
