Unwritten Law Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well it seemed like yesterday when the world was lookin dark
It felt so cold and grey and why the hell am I even here
What's the purpose all I feel is guilt and hate and fear oh yea yea

Till that day you came along
My heart was empty like the soul was missing
From a song and I thought I loved a few yea
No one ever made me feel the way that you do
Hey little girl look what you do oh I love you hey little girl I love you
Well I know I'm not always right

And girl it breaks my heart when I have to see you cry
So many things I want to say yea now I know that your the reason
That I'm here today whenever your here just stay near we'll be alright
Yea alright hey little girl look what you do oh I love you
Hey little girl look what you do and you do

When all my love starts running thin I got you my own
Cailin hey little girl I love you yea




I'll be alright but I need you close please stay tonight
As long as your here just stay near we'll be alright yea alright
