Overcome
emirsian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We’re talking on the phone for hours and hours
But no one hears the fall
Every time you laugh it hurts me now
I try to overcome
A year has past and I can still taste it
A salty drop in your eyes
I always wanted to be
A never ending circumstance
But who’s to put your smile on my face
Do you still blame me for the lies you’re meant to erase
What was should have been more




We both know it was so much more…
We knew it was so much more…
