Desperado
Vin Jay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't got the answers, I am not a genius
I don't understand my life or it's meaning
I been doing me, looking for a reason
To be a better man every brand new season
Believe I'm blessed
Feeling myself sometimes
But going through hell sometimes
But it's all good, either way I'm fine
Even when I'm not and
I wanna dwell sometimes
I am not complete, I am not comfy
I don't give a damn if you
Like or you love me
You cannot hold me, you will not hold me back
I'm alone, not lonely

I'm a desperado and I don't know if I'm
Gon' be here tomorrow
But you really don't wanna walk
This road I follow
So cold and hollow, I'm a desperado
And I don't know if there's
Much here left for me

I'm a desperado, that's the motto
Living too fast, bet I die slow
See no signs that I'm gon' follow
Still, I hope I find my way
But other nobody waiting on me
Never let 'em in 'cause I
Know I'm gon' leave
Never look back, never get no sleep
Was it all worth it? I guess I'm gon' see
Try to focus on a light
But I keep losing concentration
Tell the voices in my head I
Soak up all their conversations
But I can't turn back, I know I'm falling
Save me from myself

I'm a desperado and I don't know if I'm
Gon' be here tomorrow
But you really don't wanna walk
This road I follow
So cold and hollow, I'm a desperado




And I don't know if there's
Much here left for me
