Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say too late to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don′t believe any of it

You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock

You know you're better than this

You say too late to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don′t believe any of it

You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock





You know you're better than this
