Tomorrows Bad Seeds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You threw your feelings away
Take a good look in the mirror
Are you stuck here with the person you see
And if you're havin' doubts then wash your face
And make sure your hands are clean
'Cause at the bottom of the bottle's not the answer
But the problem you'll see
You're so damn powerful, you're not invincible, no
What makes you think, what makes you think
You're indestructible, no one's that powerful, no
Addicted to the pain, you pop another one
And swallow your pride
Lookin' for a quick fix to relax your mind
Set your feelings aside
Living in the fast lane is a gamble
When you're playing for keeps
Hold your head and wonder, so confused
You can't remember a thing
Its happening so fast, make no mistakes
For the price you will pay
Focus on the present
For tomorrow could be taken away
What makes you think, what makes you think
You're so damn powerful, you're not invincible, no
What makes you think, what makes you think
You're indestructible, no one's that powerful, no
You always wanting more
Until you hit the floor
What makes you think, what makes you think
You're so damn powerful, you're not invincible, no
What makes you think, what makes you think
You're indestructible, no one's that powerful, no
