Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She light it up when I get back to my room she roll blunts for me
She always feel like a new adventure yeah she and odyssey
I try an try all of the time but somehow she cannot see
If she leave me broken hearted it's gon be a bloody scene
Why did you decide to leave I don't think that I'll be the same
Running from all of our problems you made me think I'm the blame
cnd all the things that I want now is money drugs and all the fame
Twisted up my mind inside and now I deal with all the pain

You told me that you stayed the night but I found out you ran away
Why'd you have to lie to me you knew Id find out another way




I would fly around the world but you are in and out of state
Ran me deep into my mind yeah I thought I could break away
