Alus: Furious Lyrics:
Wishing I, could’ve been, wrong about all I said
Sitting here, crumbling with this movie playing in my head
How could you, even think, that this would continue on
Even though, what we were, was fading and almost gone
How could I even act like I could move on
How could you not regret that you lead me on
I believed your eyes were the sweetest thing
Now I look at you and it only makes me furious
Furious, It only makes me, Furious, It only makes me
I’m furious, so furious
What could’ve been of both of us HEY X2
Shattered dreams, falling tears, feel like I gotta start life over
All the writing on the walls guess it must’ve been paint over
Screaming into my pillow I know ya sleeping comfy over there no
But I’m not feeding your ego, I never been the one that likes to share
How could I even act like I could move on
How could you not regret that you lead me on
I believed your eyes were the sweetest thing
Now I look at you and it only makes me furious
Furious, It only makes me, Furious, It only makes me
I’m furious, so furious
What could’ve been of both of us HEY X2
I’m furious, I’m furious what could’ve been, the both of us HEY X2
How could you turn this into a game, I could never look at you the same
And it’s a shame and there’s no one else to blame
But you, not me, this is a tragedy, look what you’ve done to us
That’s why I’m furious
How could I even act like I could move on
How could you not regret that you lead me on
I believed your eyes were the sweetest thing
Now I look at you and it only makes me furious
Furious, It only makes me
Furious, It only makes me
I’m furious, so furious
What could’ve been of both of us HEY X2
I’m furious, I’m furious what could’ve been,
the both of us HEY….
