Just Another Day
The Mau-Maus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don`t wanna let you go
But I guess you let me go (oooh oh oh)

Love is a blessing,  yet another curse
Had me falling to the ground head first
(oooh my god
I don`t need the drugs no mo-ore)
I`m not lying coz` I don`t give a damn
Now I`ma take these pills coz` I don`t care
Love is unreal, yeah it is so unfair
Searching in the darkness for something fair

(Taking these pills)
Yeah they`re my medicine
I opened up my heart, yeah I let her in
Time for me to tell you what I feel for you

Can loving you be a part of my sins
First time I see you, yeah I fell for it
Knowing it`s a mistake
But I regretted it all

I don`t wanna let you go
But I guess you let me go (oooh oh oh)

Now I`m alone trying to figure out
The pieces to my heart
You`re in my head, you`re rotting my mind
Two years past
Yet another day without you ooh
I don`t wanna wait any longer
Guess that I gotta hold on
Without a heart, yeah you stole it
Oh god, in my grave six feet under I will rot

(Taking these pills)
Yeah they`re my medicine
I opened up my heart, yeah I let her in
Time for me to tell you what I feel for you

Can loving you be a part of my sins
First time I see you, yeah I fell for it
Knowing it`s a mistake
But I regretted it all

I don`t wanna let you go
But I guess you let me go (oooh oh oh)

Now I`m alone trying to figure out
The pieces to my heart
You`re in my head, you`re rotting my mind
Two years past
Yet another day without you ooh
I don`t wanna wait any longer
Guess that I gotta hold on




Without a heart, yeah you stole it
Oh god, in my grave six feet under I will rot
