about

This song is about when you get your heart beat with a bat wrapped in barbed wire.

lyrics

So sick of all this small talk.
Step back and call this like it was.
I'm suffering from your selfishness, one thing's for sure is that I've had enough.
You hit me like an illness.
I can't take enough drugs to cure this.
You know your actions aren't a victimless crime, so it's my fault for being taken by surprise.

I never thought you were a liar.
I guess I'm just naive cause somewhere down the line you stabbed me in the back and twist the knife.

I only wanted to be someone that you admire
and then you beat my heart with a bat that you wrapped in barbed wire.
And this is overdue, this feeling will expire cause you beat my heart with a bat wrapped in barbed wire.

I got caught in your web of lies that you wove to trap me by design.
When will you realize you can't spend your whole life picking fights?
Do you remember when we first met?
I never thought that I'd be someone that you'd regret, but now I see the truth behind your illusion and if I don't fight back you'll still be losing me.

I never thought you were a liar.
I guess I'm just naive cause somewhere down the line you stabbed me in the back and twist the knife.

I only wanted to be someone that you admire and then you beat my heart with a bat that you wrapped in barbed wire.
And this is overdue, this feeling will expire cause you beat my heart with a bat wrapped in barbed wire.

I never thought you'd walk away at seventeen, what you took from me.
I promise you, I'll never change. I beg of you, just let me be.

I only wanted to be someone that you admire and then you beat my heart with a bat that you wrapped in barbed wire.
I only wanted to be someone that you admire
and then you beat my heart with a bat that you wrapped in barbed wire.
And this is overdue, this feeling will expire cause you beat my heart with a bat wrapped in barbed wire.
