My Name (Wearing Me Out)
Shinedown · Amaryllis [2012]
my name is empty coz you drained away the love
my name is searching since you stole my only soul
my name is hatred for the reasons we both know
worthless empty searching hatred , who am i right now
you are fucking wearing me out
you are always dragging my down
you are the break falling from some nations sick man
i dont need a gun to take back whats mine
its over
its over now
you are done wearing me out
my name is screaming like the sound of your heart failing
my name is loco like the motive that betrayed me
screaming, loco, dont say you know who am i right now
you are fucking wearing me out
you are always dragging my down
you are the break falling from some nations sick man
i dont need a gun to take back whats mine
its over
its over now
you are done wearing me out
you wearing me out
you wearing me out
you wearing me out
you wearing me out
you wearing me out
you wearing me out
you are the ancient history
but how am i right now
my name is revenge and im here to save my name
you are fucking wearing me out
you are always dragging my down
you are the break falling from some nations sick man
i dont need a gun to take back whats mine
its over (your fucking wearing me out)
its over , its over (you are always dragging me down)
you are the break falling from some nations sick man
i dont need a gun to take back whats mine
its over
its over now
your done wearing me out
