Everything Left Out
Tuesday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't sleep tonight, I wish I could.
Cold air comes in through my window,
Haunts me, it should.
I know I deserve to be starved and tired of friends.
No one should be put through this, but tonight,
I saw everything left out
I saw everything get torn up
I saw everything get left out
I saw everything dissolve, tonight.
When I pulled in my hands,
And I put down my head.
I know I can't teach a rock to fly.
Just watch as you're smiling.
Break every bone on the way down.
I know I would have fallen to my knees,
Two years ago.
No one should be put through this, yet tonight,




When I pulled in my hands,
And I put down my head
