Insane In Vain
Vanilla Ninja · Love Is War [2006]
You took my past
And threw it against your wall of fate
You got me, got me, got me good
You thought you had me on your hook
Wish I could erase the time that you took
That you took from me
[Refrain:]
Insane in vain
Who do you think you are
I'm still standing
I'm still breathing
Don't hang your shit on me
Insane in vain
This time you've gone too far
Who do you think you are
You pinned me down
You had it all worked out a plastic cage
You thought that I would move right in
You got me, got me, got me good
You thought you had me on your hook
Wish I could erase the time that you took
That you took from me
[Refrain:]
Insane in vain
Who do you think you are
I'm still standing
I'm still breathing
Don't hang your shit on me
Insane in vain
This time you've gone too far
Who do you think you are
And maybe I should have known before
Too many signs that I ignored
That you'd be a dead end street to me
There was nothing that you could give
Now rage is all that you left me with
[Refrain:]
Insane in vain
Who do you think you are
I'm still standing
I'm still breathing In
Don't hang your shit on me
Insane in vain
This time you've gone too far
Who do you think you are
