Exit Stage Left
Anavae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know they say try with every moment,
For no moment is ever wasted, never wasted, but.
What′s the point of falling in love?
If the pain outweighs the highs?
If it always ends the same,
And they just end with someone else.
The circle seems to be never ending,
A never ending cycle.
Oh what are we to do?

Oh you said you'd never leave my side.
"An hours just one moment, when I have your heart in mine".
But oh you go, so very far away.
Just cut me off and leave me dying,
Face the end without you trying.

Well are you with me!?
Take a step, a step we′re back in time,
I didn't mean to cause you pain,
But now my pain is doubled over,
I'm sorry I was so empty,
And emptier still I am, when you give no second chances.
If we give it all up does it take from the fact,
That with all that we have was a love from above?
How could you just replace me with some blank new face?
Am I just so easy to let go of?
How did you care at all, if you can′t need me now.
Why can′t you just save me, why can't you just save me!?

Oh you said you′d never leave my side.
"An hours just one moment, when I have your heart in mine".
But oh you go, so very far away.
Just cut me off and leave me dying,
Face the end without you trying.

What's the point of falling in love?
If the pain out weighs the highs...
If it always ends the same.
& They just end with someone else...
The circle seems to be never ending,




A never ending cycle,
Never ending, never ending...
