The Wretched Songtext

von Nine Inch Nails

Just a reflection.
Just a glimpse.
Just a little reminder of all the what abouts and all the might have, c-c-could have beens.

Now you know,
This is what it feels like.
Now you know,
This is what it feels like.

You can try to stop it, but it keeps on coming.
You can try to stop it, but it...
