Lyrics
It bothers me, it bites me
Stinges me, deprives me
Off my check
The ways you make me
Pass by highways
I'm forced to trust
Your wicked ways
You use me, abuse me
Control me
When nothing really matters
When nothing really matters
These broken hearts are shattered
As long as you love me
But something needs to matter
When love deceives, it batters
These gunshots are a shatter
So, you must love me
In my mind
I have killed you long ago
Born pretender
Spirit's highjacker
You killed my love for you
Innocent blood
Excuse me now
Mr. Right, might, tell me
Stuck in a daze
Can't even understand no more
When nothing really matters
When nothing really matters
These broken hearts are shattered
As long as you love me
But something needs to matter
When love deceives, it batters
These gunshots are a shatter
So, you must love me
Born pretender
Spirit highjacker
In the name of the Lord
You, heart-snatcher, backbiter
Yes, they are partakers of
Sucking innocent blood
Night walking vampires, excuse me now
Introduce me to your industry
'Cause with me
You will definitely go very far
Stuck in a daze, can't even understand
Unknowingly approaching the world
Through a vivid glance
But it concerns me
And it concerns us
Yet, it condemns us
For this is the fact, the truth
It would always haunt us
When nothing really matters
When nothing really matters
These broken hearts are shattered
As long as you love me
But something needs to matter
When love deceives, it batters
These gunshots are a shatter
So, you must love me
