Denial
Tuuli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday
and all the games
we played
got me strung so high
then I fall.
Why did I
interest in me
when you got me
backed against the wall?

Prechorus:

You never seem to smile.
We're both in denial.
That's why I'm letting go this time.

Chorus:

I am gonna leave you without crying.
Gonna forget you without trying.
This time, I know that it's gonna be easy
I can live without you.
It won't kill me.
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I might miss
all the times we kissed
but it's not enough
to make me stay.

You lied to me,
like you lied to yourself.
I hope you find the truth out there
someday.

(Prechorus)

(Chorus 2x)

I wanna believe you,
but it's impossible.
I wanna believe you
when you say you'll change.
I wanna believe that things will get easier.
I wanna believe you,
but you'll never change.





(Chorus 2x)
