Slept So Long
Korn · Other Songs - Korn
Alone without a care
Hoping and hating
The things I can't bare
Did you think it's cool to walk right up
To take my life and fuck it up
Well did you, well did you
[Chorus:]
I see hell in your eyes
Taken in by surprise
Touching you makes me feel alive
Touching you makes me die inside
Walking, waiting
Alone without a care
Hoping and hating
The things I can't bare
Did ya think it's cool to walk right up
And take my life and fuck it
Well did you
I hate you!
[Chorus: Repeat]
I've slept so long without you
It's tearing me apart too
How did you get this far
Playing games with this old heart
I've killed a million petty souls
But I couldn't kill you
I've slept so long with out you
[Chorus: Repeat x2]
