*As I Lay Dying Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see who you are and who else can compare
I meant what I said
I promised to stand by your side
Until the end

That's where we begin
From here to eternity
We begin understanding
It is our hearts that define

What has meaning in life




Some will ask how can this be but it
Was you who made me feel
