RescuE
Zeds Dead Dion Timmer Delaney Jane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a confession
You made a mess of my heart
I see my reflection
Just a stranger in the dark
Picture perfect, is it worth it?
I'm always getting trapped
With the devil on my back
Whispering, I deserve this

But I don't need you, you coming to my rescue
After all that I've been through
I don't need you coming to my rescue
No, I don't need you, you coming to my rescue
After all that I've been through
I don't need you coming to my rescue
Coming to my rescue

You, you coming to my rescue
You, you coming to my rescue

Spinning in circles
We made a mess of this love
You fell for a wild one
Don't chase me when I run
Picture perfect, is it worth it?
I'm always getting trapped
With the devil on my back
Whispering, I deserve this

But I don't need you, you coming to my rescue
After all that I've been through
I don't need you coming to my rescue
No, I don't need you, you coming to my rescue
After all that I've been through
I don't need you coming to my rescue
Coming to my rescue

You, you coming to my rescue
Now I don't need you
Now I don't need you
Now I don't need you
Coming to my rescue
(Now I don't need you)




(Now I don't need you)
(Now I don't need you)
