  • Yeah, it goes away
    All of this and more of nothing in my life
    No color clay
    Individuality not safe

    As of now I bet you got me wrong
    So unsure you run from something strong

    I can't let go
    Threadbare tapestry unwinding slow
    Feel a tortured brain
    Show your belly like you want me to

    As of now, I bet you got me wrong
    So unsure, we reach for something strong

    I haven't felt like this in so long
    Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
    That don't last forever
    Something's gotta turn out right

    You, sugar taste
    Sweetness doesn't often touch my face
    Stay if you please
    You may not be here when I leave

    As of now, I bet you got me wrong
    So unsure, we reach for something strong

    I haven't felt like this in so long
    Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
    Strong, I haven't felt like this in so long
    Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
    That don't last forever
    Something's gotta turn out right Writer/s: Jerry Cantrell

  • Aubrey from Jackson, MiThis is the entrance song for my favorite Askewniverse character. That's probably why I find this tune so sexy.
  • Kevin Quinn from Cmch, NjI love this song. Like you, Anthony, this song is one of the theme songs of my life.

    As for your meaning, Gerrit, that isn't correct. It is indeed about relationship problems.
  • Jacob from Rocky Mount, Ncit was orginally from Sap
  • Bryan from Spring, TxAwesome song! One of my favorites in high school.
  • Anthony from Vancouver, WaAlice in chains! Awesomest Band ever. This is like the theme song to my life
