Trapt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Contemplating everything you ever said
Now I see the truth, I got a doubt
A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out
See you later
I see your fantasy
You wanna make it a reality paved in gold
Well, now that's over
I see your motives inside
Decisions to hide
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we're Headstrong
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
And this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away
Conclusions manifest
Your first impressions got to be your very best
I see you're full of shit and that's alright
That's how you play, I guess you get through every night
Well, now that's over
I see your fantasy
You wanna make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads, yeah
Well, now that's over
I see your motives inside
Decisions to hide
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on any one
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we're headstrong
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
And this is not where you belong
Where you belong
I can't give everything away
This is not where you belong
I won't give everything away
I know, I know all about
I know, I know all about
I know, I know all about
I know, I know all about
Your motives inside
And your decision to hide
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we're headstrong
Back off, I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
And this is not where you belong
Where you belong
This is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
This is not where you belong
I won't give everything away
This is not where you belong
This is not where you belong

Circling, you're circling, you're circling your head
You're obsessing over everything that's happened
Contemplating everything you ever said
You're analyzing every word you've uttered
Now I see the truth, I got a doubt
I realize that what I thought was true is now in question
A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out
I see your true intentions and want nothing to do with them
See you later
I'm done with you
I see your fantasy
I understand your desires
You wanna make it a reality paved in gold
You want to achieve your goals in a lavish way
See inside, inside of our heads, yeah
We share a similar mindset
Well, now that's over
That chapter of our relationship is done
I see your motives inside
I understand your motivations
Decisions to hide
You're keeping certain things from me
Back off, I'll take you on

You use this strategy to cope with life
I know, I know all about

Where you belong
Your rightful place
