Lyrics
there's a demon out there and it's screaming my name
asking me why I'm so afraid to play it's game
I say I played before and now I ain't the same
I feel as though I've gone, gone insane
back when I was younger I didn't know what it could do
didn't know it was a feeling that transforms you
now that I'm older I don't know how much has changed
it's just a feeling that...boggles my brain
I think I got
the wrong idea
the wrong idea of love
said the wrong idea of love
said the wrong idea of love
now I don't know what to believe
and I don't know what love means
all I know is that I feel empty
is there something wrong with me
said is there something wrong with me
I think I got
the wrong idea
the wrong idea of love
said the wrong idea of love
said the wrong idea
the wrong idea
the wrong idea of love
I don't know what love means to me
I don't know what's inside of me
am I feeling anxiety
no one in my life's friendly
and I got no family
all I really got is me
the tragedy of being lonely
is it brings security
all I really need is me
said all I really need is me
said all I really need is
all I really need is
all I really got is me
yeah
