Dying
Stone Sour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gotta say what's on my mind
'Cause all this bitterness has made me second-guess
And I've waited all my life
You know it's true, it isn't me, it isn't you
I can't be your man
But here's what I don't understand
If I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you
But God only knows what I've been through
'Cause dying is all we're doing here
You leave me suffering 'til I can't feel a thing
It's all I got when I want more
If I waste one more day then they can take me away
'Cause it'll be worse than it was before
You know it's true, it isn't me, it isn't you
I can't be your man
But here's what I don't understand
If I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you
But God only knows what I've been through
'Cause dying is all we're doing here
If I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you
But God only knows what I've been through
'Cause dying is all we're doing here
Oh, if I can't live without you
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
What are we really doing, what are we really doing here?
I don't wanna live without you, I don't wanna live without you
'Cause dying is all we're doing here

It's only common sense so please don't take offense
I'm going to say the truth, but don't be mad
I gotta say what's on my mind
I have to speak up and express my thoughts
'Cause all this bitterness has made me second-guess
My resentment has made me doubt my choices
And I've waited all my life
I've been waiting for something like this forever
You know it's true, it isn't me, it isn't you
We both know that we can't blame each other
I can't be your man
I cannot be the one you need
But here's what I don't understand
Here's what I'm puzzled about
If I can't live without you
I need you to live
But I can't breathe when I'm with you
Being with you is suffocating
What are we really doing here?
What is the point of this relationship?
I don't wanna live without you
I cannot imagine life without you
But God only knows what I've been through
This is the most difficult time of my life
'Cause dying is all we're doing here
This relationship is killing us slowly
You leave me suffering 'til I can't feel a thing
You cause me so much pain that I become numb
It's all I got when I want more
The suffering is all that remains in this relationship
If I waste one more day then they can take me away
If I stay any longer, I'll be harmed irreparably
'Cause it'll be worse than it was before
Things will get even more unbearable
Oh, if I can't live without you
I need you to survive
What are we really doing, what are we really doing here?
What is the purpose of this relationship?
I don't wanna live without you, I don't wanna live without you
I don't want to lose you, but staying is too difficult
'Cause dying is all we're doing here
This relationship is destroying us

I love so much Audio Secrecy, probably the most markable album of my teenage. It's sad see how time flies...
