Episode 82: Sleaford Mods

SONG LYRICS ⬇️

Yes I tried but I failed you
Gave you all of my heart
You told me you wouldn't leave 
But it was all just a lie

Even if I walk, I still live in your shadow
Girl I'm so intoxicated, and I'm lost without you, baby
For your love, I'd trade my soul, coz your love drove me so crazy
Girl, I'm scared deep down to lose you, but I guess this is the end

Nanana I still love you
Nanana I still miss you
For you girl, I would sin

Coz you said
If I jump, you would jump. 
Were I go, you would go. 
If I fall, you would catch me
Was it all just a lie?

Even if I walk, I still live in your shadow
Girl I'm so intoxicated, and I'm lost without you, baby
For your love, I'd trade my soul (ohh, I truly adore you)
Coz your love drove me so crazy (girl you drove me so crazy)
Girl, I'm scared deep down to lose you (this love has got me intoxicated)
But I guess this is the end (Ohh is this really the END)

Nanana I still love you
Nanana I still miss you
For you girl, I would sin

Coz you said
If I jump, you would jump. 
Were I go, you would go. 
If I fall, you would catch me
Was it all just a lie?

========================

The song describes the painful aftermath of a broken promise. You poured your heart out and trusted someone who swore they wouldn't leave, but they did.

Now, you're haunted by their absence, feeling lost and intoxicated by their memory. Even walking away doesn't free you from their shadow. You'd do anything to get them back, even trade your soul, but you fear the love was an illusion, a cruel lie.

The chorus captures the heart-wrenching feeling: "I still love you, I still miss you, for you girl, I would sin." It's a song about betrayal, heartbreak, and the desperate longing for love lost.
