MAY
m:a.ture Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got me changing up my ways
Yeah you got me tripping
Over feeling like I got you
I'm am in the deep in
Open up your mind
I wanna take peak in
Been stab a couple times
Yeah my heart is leaking
I'm so lost in this world
I can't find my purpose
Don't understand the human race
Real is worhtless
Fit in with the gens
I didn't reach surface
Trade my feeling for the pain
I'm a soul merchant
I'm use to being by myself yeah
I can't trust no one else yeah
I can feel what someone felt yeah
Sometimes I need the help yeah
Feeling salty like it's kelp yeah
Cause I'm always by myself
A devil may cry
But a angel won't listen
Yeah (Yeah)
Who really cares about your feelings?
A devil may cry
But a angel won't listen
Yeah (Yeah)
Who really cares about your feelings?
Why they always gotta put me on the back burner
Wish I could of died a little bit sooner
Fade into grey , spread around like rumors
Heartless young man , emo living no bloopers
Couldn't see a future , chaos written all in it
Tell me how world really keeps on spinning
A devil may cry & the angels won't listen
If die right now , most of y'all would pay attention
Devils may cry
But the angels won't listen
Yeah (Yeah)
Who really cares about your feelings
A devil may cry
But a angel won't listen




Yeah (Yeah)
Who really cares about your feelings?
