  • Sickness spilling through your eyes,
    Craving everything that you thought was alive
    Stab me in my heart again
    Drag me through you wasted life
    Are you forever dead?

    Do like I told you, stay away from me
    Never misunderstand me, keep away from me

    Twistin' everything around that you say
    Smack me in my mouth 200 times every other day
    Rag me, I don't hear you anymore,
    Not yet, find out what it means to me
    I don't know who you are

    Do like I told you, stay away from me
    Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
    Do like I told you, stay away from me
    Never misunderstand me

    Dragging on so lonely, aren't you tired baby
    Breathing life into your lungs,
    Are you immune to me

    Do like I told you, stay away from me
    Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
    Do like I told you, stay away from me
    Never misunderstand me
    Keep away from me
    Never misunderstand me
    Never misunderstand me
    Never misunderstand me Writer/s: SALVATORE P. ERNA

  • Russertafukk from Loyalton CaliforniaGood info it almost comletes the experiance to know why songs were written and the meaning of them .. right on thanks.
  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganZero, they don't do the drum solo's live on this song anymore. Bummer.

    This song is actually about one of Sully's exes, Lisa, whom Sully was cheating on his girlfriend, Erin, with. She would verbally and physically abuse him and eventually he left her and came back to Erin.
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjAnd the drum solos live are intense!
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjThe acoustic version from the Other Side EP is even better than the album version. Actually when they play it live it's even better. I think the solo sounds better with a rhythm guitar backing it up.
  • K from Wilmington, Ncawesome f*ing song!!! Very good for getting the lead out after a stressful day :)
