Heart Of A Love Song
William Becton & Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just looking for a cheap escape
So I don't have to hide
Read me I'm raw
The negatives subside
Yesterday I wasn't feeling so tall
Now I'm a rising tide
I'm not sinking
If I run away wanna run away with me?
I don't need you
But my want for you is shifty
Do you want my attention?
I do too
Part of me thinks that isn't true
But the biggest part of me is stuck on whether or not I even love you
You're holding out hope for someone as hopeless as me
The drugs made me see that you are every "I could never be"
Wanna run away with me?
My want for you is shifty
I want my attention too
Do I even love you?
Here's my overmedicated black heart
Can you read it for me?
It's trying to scream
It's trying to scream
I've been trying to listen but I can't make out what it means
I'm not sinking
But I'm still thinking
If I run away wanna run away with me?
I don't need you
But my want for you is shifty
Do you want my attention?
I do too
Part of me thinks that isn't true
But the biggest part of me is stuck on whether or not I even love you
