The Wanted Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The girl of my dreams cheating on me
The pain you caused has left me dead inside
I'm gonna make sure, you regret that night
I feel you close, I feel you breathe
And now it's like you're here
You're haunting me
You're the reason that we started this fight
But I, I know
I just gotta let it go
I, I should've known
I gotta learn to say goodbye now
I throw my armor down
And leave the battleground
For the final time now
I, I, I know
I'm running from a warzone
In our house, I hate that place
Everywhere I walk I see your face
Try to erase a memory with a flame
And hope I never see you again
Standing here, in this burning room
You know the end could never come so soon
It's clear to me
The lies you use
The ones that killed me ain't hurting you
So I know
I just gotta let it go
I, I should've known
I gotta learn to say goodbye now
I throw my armor down
And leave the battleground
For the final time now
I, I, I know
I'm running from a warzone
I'm running from a warzone
I can't do this anymore
I'm running from a warzone
What are we fighting for?
I'm running from a warzone
I, I, I know
I just gotta let it go
I, I should've known
I gotta learn to say goodbye now
I throw my armor down
And leave the battleground
For the final time now
I, I, I know
I'm running from a warzone

I can't believe I had to see
I am unable to accept the fact that I witnessed
The girl of my dreams cheating on me
My ideal girl cheated on me
The pain you caused has left me dead inside
You have caused me immense agony, making me numb and emotionless
I'm gonna make sure, you regret that night
I am determined to ensure that you repent for your actions that night
I feel you close, I feel you breathe
I sense your proximity, your existence
And now it's like you're here
It feels like you never really left, like you're still here with me
You're haunting me
You are tormenting my thoughts and memories
You're out of line, you're out of sight
You have crossed a line and now I cannot see you
You're the reason that we started this fight
Our conflict began because of you
But I, I know
However, I am cognizant
I just gotta let it go
I have to release this hurt and anger
I should've known
I ought to have realized long ago
I gotta learn to say goodbye now
I must now learn to bid farewell
I throw my armor down
I abandon my defense mechanisms
And leave the battleground
I depart from this zone of conflict
For the final time now
This is my last attempt
I'm running from a warzone
I am fleeing from this site of battle
In our house, I hate that place
Our abode, I abhor it
Everywhere I walk I see your face
I see your countenance everywhere I go
Try to erase a memory with a flame
I endeavor to obliterate these memories with fire
And hope I never see you again
And pray that I never lay eyes on you once more
Standing here, in this burning room
I am stationed here, in this room in flames
You know the end could never come so soon
You know that the conclusion could not have arrived any earlier
It's clear to me
It is apparent to me
The lies you use
The falsehoods that you uttered
The ones that killed me ain't hurting you
The lies that caused my demise do not inflict any pain on you
I'm running from a warzone
I am fleeing from this site of battle
I can't do this anymore
I am incapable of continuing this any longer
What are we fighting for?
What is the purpose of this conflict?
