Lucky
Zeph Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you change your mind again?
You're still too good to be true
Am I getting played pretend
That you wouldn't need to

Turns out it's quite hard to take
Something you don't yet believe
Have you fallen by mistake
I'd feel selfish if you don't leave

I think I wished on a mirage
Just let me down easy
This perfect picture's a collage
I got too lucky

Is this all a game to you
Do you smile at my expense
There's no way you're serious
Why me? It doesn't make sense

I don't care much for myself
So I can't see why you would
I accept the love I think I deserve
Instead of what I should

I think I wished on a mirage
Just let me down easy
This perfect picture's a collage
I got too lucky

My fear's outgrown my heart
I was hesitant at the start
But you still have it all
You've kept them safe thus far
My hopes are up but so's my guard
Would you let me fall?

I think I wished on a mirage
Just let me down easy
This perfect picture's a collage
I got too lucky

I think I wished too hard for you
Fate's playing a trick on me




Careful, it's become more than true
I got too lucky
