Tyler Rayn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turned my back now i'm the fool
Out of all the things I could have wished on you
I wish one day you'll find the truth
Oh i won't lie
I can't afford to lose myself in the crossfire
My shields are up
Won't let you break
To the wire
You played your cards and you played me wrong
No-one left to string along
We used to laugh and cry when we got high
Now its an empty house when I drive by
Oh I won't lie
I can't afford to lose myself in the crossfire
(no I don't wanna lose myself I cannot)
My shields are up
Won't let you break
Me down to the wire
To the wire
I can't afford to lose myself in the crossfire
My shields are up
Won't let you break
Me down to the wire
To the wire

No trust in me no trust in you
We have lost trust in each other
Turned my back now i'm the fool
I regret turning my back on you and now I look foolish
Out of all the things I could have wished on you
Despite everything, I still wish for you to find the truth
I wish one day you'll find the truth
I hope that one day you will discover the truth
Oh i won't lie
I am being honest
I can't afford to lose myself in the crossfire
I cannot risk getting caught up in the conflict
My shields are up
I have my guard up
Won't let you break
I will not allow you to break me
Me down to the wire
To the very end
You played your cards and you played me wrong
You used a deceitful strategy on me and it backfired
No-one left to string along
There is no one left to deceive or manipulate
We used to laugh and cry when we got high
We used to share good and bad times together while under the influence of drugs
Now its an empty house when I drive by
Now when I see the house we used to share, it feels empty and devoid of our memories
I cannot
I cannot
