Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't sleep 'cause I miss you
All the time
Now I feel half alive (yeah)
I don't wanna pretend that it's okay (yeah)
Sick of all the shit you throw in my face
Usin' that look to control me
I open my eyes and I'm feelin' like death
All the fuckin' lies hangin' over my head
Every time I look at you, I only see red
Some things I'd like to forget
Braindead, I got issues
Can't sleep 'cause I miss you
All the time
Now I feel half alive
Kill me with your body
Can't dream 'cause you still haunt me
Every fuckin' night
Now I feel half alive
I don't wanna fake it
Everythin' reminds me of you when I'm faded
I can smell your makeup
Fall asleep in love and we're done when I wake up
The city just might kill me
Everywhere I go, I still hear your screams
Without you I'm just the ghost of what I used to be
Now I'm
Braindead, I got issues
Can't sleep 'cause I miss you
All the time
Now I feel half alive
Kill me with your body
Can't dream 'cause you still haunt me
Every fuckin' night
Now I feel half alive
Half alive, half alive
Half alive, half alive
Braindead, I got issues
Can't sleep 'cause I miss you
All the time
Now I feel half alive
Kill me with your body
Can't dream 'cause you still haunt me
Every fuckin' night
Now I feel half alive
Ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah-ah
I feel half alive
