Virgin Suicide
Van She Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Said she wanted a change
But she came home dead without noting to say
Notice that her pain won't go away
Just think of your soul and the dances you make

So don't, don't, stop back (you wanted everything)
Don't be afraid (don't want to be alone)
Know what you want (you wanted everything, you wanted everything, you wouldn't ever know)

Trip tried to hide the morning after
It's not the things she said but the line in her bed
She don't even wanting the truth said
It's the life inside and the words she don't say

(X4)
So don't, don't, stop back (you wanted everything)




Don't be afraid (don't want to be alone)
Know what you want (you wanted everything, you wanted everything, you wouldn't ever know)
