If I
Tom & Dexx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been feeling kinda down the last couple days
But imma cheer myself up with the music in place
Getting shivers on my body
And my heads in a daze
I need a ah ah ah
I need a ah ah ah
I need a good fucking feeling
I want somewhere to go
I'm getting faded at the bar
And I got money to blow
I wanna go test somebody I got courage to show
I need a ah ah ah
I got a ah ah ah
Why can't I do it well I have tried
I got so high then I fell and I died
I'm always spinning my heads so fried
Ah ah ah so fried
Feeling so dumb yeah I'm feeling so numb
I don't if this is real life so I bite my thumb
Feeling so dumb yeah I'm feeling so numb
I don't if this is real life so I bite my thumb
I always keep moving on forward and backwards
I wanna be an icon but I'm known as a bastard
People always talk to me yet I'm acting flustered
If you're talking down you better know it's your last word
Head rush from the drag of this nicotine
I murder any beat people saying "the killer mean"
I'm under stress i need a method I ain't talking bean
My lyrics reaching mercury that's why they call me killer queen
I got one two three too many fucking haters
one two three too many see you laters
I gotta pause for a second put on my shaders
Your music makes me tired you're a sedator
Why can't I do it well I have tried
I got so high then I fell and I died
I'm always spinning my heads so fried
Ah ah ah so fried
Feeling so dumb yeah I'm feeling so numb
I don't if this is real life so I bite my thumb
Feeling so dumb yeah I'm feeling so numb
I don't if this is real life so I bite my thumb
Feeling so dumb yeah I'm feeling so numb
I don't if this is real life so I bite my thumb




Feeling so dumb yeah I'm feeling so numb
I don't if this is real life so I bite my thumb
