Next time
I'll have somewhere else
To be
I'm running
Away from you
Can't take being
Besieged
Knowing that i got some scar on you
Knowing that i held the groung to you
I'm trying
Just to see
The bigger picture - oh
Be the bigger man
Don't hit first - resist attack
But know
I'll hit you back
Knowing that i got some scars on you
Knowing that i held my groung to you
Knowing that i knocked you down
Knowing that i let my tongue go
I aimed and i let out my rounds
On you
Do i have to be the bigger man?
Always the better?
Forget that
Forget that
Forget that
I want to hit you back - ooh
Hit you back - yeah
Hit you back - oh
Hit you back - yeah
Hit you back
Knowing that i got some scars on you
Knowing that i held my groung to you
Knowing that i knocked you down
Knowing that i let my tongue go
I aimed and i let out my rounds
On you
