So What
The Sunday Drivers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't believe when you confide in me
I don't get your drift
But you keep sayin' that we know the drill
I have to follow
Have to follow the lead

Humbleness is not the major thing
Neither modesty
You've got a big big ego indeed
Is not as big as me

So what?
So what?
What do you think you're doing?
What?
So what?
So what do you think you're doing
Now?

Now all the big and broken promises
You didn't get to reach




All those big big promises
Failing behind me
