Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pieces of me on the bed sheet
Holding on to your breath, to your
Breathe now
Facing my fear
Pieces of me on the bed sheet
Looking at the edge
Places I cry
Hanging on the fence, on
The fence
Pieces of you
In places you've never been
Heaven it feels like you don't exist
Heaven it feels like you don't exist
Fucking with ya for fun
I am no
I am no passion addicted
Do you feel happy now, happy no's
Hope you are dear
Somewhere far from
Where I am looking now, looking
Now
I'm on my two feet
Two feet I yield
Get out my head, out my head
I don't need to see you
They all fit in now
Heaven it feels like you don't exist
Heaven it feels like you don't exist
Heaven it feels like you don't exist
Heaven it feels like you don't exist
Heaven it feels like you don't exist
Heaven it feels like you don't exist
Heaven it feels like you don't exist
Heaven it feels like you don't exist
