Lyrics
She Told Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I sit and wait with the question
"Was it worth all your indecision?"
You're always running away from the best things you have...
Don't pretend you're the victim
Don't pretend I'm the only problem
(You're always running away!)
She told me that she left
That feeling in my room on that summer night
She looked at me and then we shared
That moment under the moonlight
You took it all for granted
And now it's all been turned to ashes
You'll never realize how cold your heart is
A paradise ruined by fire
All for your selfish desire
(You're always running,
You're always running away!)
She told me that she left
That feeling in my room on that summer night
She looked at me and then we shared
That moment under the moonlight
She told me that she left
That feeling in my room on that summer night
She looked at me and then we shared
That moment under the moonlight
Desperation pounding from her chest
A selfish act from a girl so helpless
She's all alone in a world with nothing left
(She's all alone now,
She's all alone!)
She's always searching for another start
Forming hatred in her lonely heart
Now she's left alone in the dark
She told me that she left
That feeling in my room on that summer night
(Was it worth it, now that I'm gone?)
She told me that she left
That feeling in my room on that summer night
She looked at me and then we shared
That moment under the moonlight
She told me that she left
That feeling in my room on that summer night
She looked at me and then we shared
That moment under the moonlight
(Was it worth it, now that I'm gone?) (x2)
