Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m calling you back and you're not home, or you′re not answering
Anyways, I love you to the moon and back
I love you more than anything
You're in my heart, I love you, love you, love you

I think it's something in my DNA
I try to change, but keep on making the same mistakes
Mind in a prison, my heart in a cage
Sins of the father on son where they lay

Who am I kidding, you reap what you sow, know that
Time is a virtue and patience I owe, ′cause my
Soul′s under pressure, I feel it implode, Lord please
Give me perspectivе that rattles my bones

Who am I kidding, you reap what you sow, know that
Timе is a virtue and patience I owe, 'cause my
Soul′s under pressure, I feel it implode, Lord please
Give me perspective that rattles my bones

I think it's something in my DNA
I try to change, but keep on making the same mistakes
Mind in a prison, my heart in a cage
Sins of the father on son where they lay
Maybe I′m looking for someone to blame
More than I blame myself (more than I blame myself)
I think I'm looking for someone to hate
More than I hate myself (more than I hate myself)

Thought I′d be better off here on my own
But wasting away is all that I know
Lessons I learn the hard way, I'm told
We're living together, but dying alone

Pour me a double this time, hard pill to swallow
Oh, I′m so tired of living this way
(Holding all this hate, what for?)
Your blood, it runs through my veins
Scared that I′ll end up the same
Tears rolling off of my face
(Don't wanna feel this pain no more)

I think it′s something in my DNA
I try to change, but keep on making the same mistakes
Mind in a prison, my heart in a cage
Sins of the father on son where they lay
Maybe I'm looking for someone to blame
More than I blame myself (more than I blame myself)
I think I′m looking for someone to hate
More than I hate myself (more than I hate myself)

Thought I'd be better off here on my own
But wasting away is all that I know




Lessons are learnt the hard way, I′m told
We're living together, but dying alone
