River
A.B.PERSPECTIVES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw a vision
That the love we had was gone
I thought you were happy
Thought we were flying
But we crashed and burned that night
I don't know why
You were lying
I don't know why
We were trying
Someone help me cause I'm down
Cause I've been
Running around
Looking around
For someone that I thought was me
Cause I've been
Feeling so low
But now that I know
That I can see the hope in me
Down by the river
Down by the river
Down by the river
I saw a vision
Mumma told me don't you cry
I thought I was happy
Thought I was flying
But I crashed and burned that night
I don't know why
I was lying
Silently I'm suffering
I don't know why
I was trying
Someone help me cause I'm down
Cause I've been
Running around
Looking around
For someone that I thought was me
Cause I've been
Feeling so low
But now that I know
That I can see the hope in me
Down by the river
Down by the river
Tell me what you want from me
Am I everything
This is killing me
Cause I just can't keep holding on
Where has our love gone
Sick of suffering
Tell me what you want from me
Am I everything
This is killing me
Cause I just can't keep holding on
Where has our love gone
Sick of suffering
Cause I've been
Running around
Looking around
For someone that I thought was me
Cause I've been
Feeling so low
But now that I know
That I can see the hope in me
Down by the river
Down by the river
Down by the river
Down by the river
