Addict
Watch Me Rise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always kind of enjoyed darkness
Its the same with leaving your side
Cause I know everything's gonna be alright
Alright one day again
But on the other side This little cosmos we created
Feels save and like home
When Im on my own
Lie awake every night
Im running away cause everything is falling down in pieces my friend
I cant pretend that I'd rather be away from here
Away from truth and all those years
Away from truth and all those years with you
Im running away cause the same old shit is happening once again
If I am sorry?
Well I dont know
Needless to say I spent some days on my own?
Running away is the only thing I know
Beside my dog I got not much to show
Im running away cause everything is falling down in pieces my friend
I cant pretend that I'd rather be away from here
Away from truth and all those years
Away from truth and all those years with you
Im running away cause the same old shit is happening once again
Suddenly I hate
The look upon your face
Promises you've made
When we were hiding in the shades
Drugs that made me stay
For just one more day
The good times we've had




I won't forget
I won't forget
