Got Me Wrong - Edit Lyrics
Alice In Chains
Lyrics
Yeah it goes away
All of this and more of nothing in my life
No colored clay
Individuality not safe
As of now I bet you've got me wrong
So unsure you run from something strong
I can't let go
Threadbare tapestry unwinding slow
Feel a tortured brain
Show your belly like you want me too
As of now I bet you've got me wrong
So unsure we reach for something strong
I haven't felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
That don't last forever
Something's got to turn out right
You sugar taste
Sweetness doesn't often touch my face
Stay if you please
You may not be here when I leave
