KILLER
Bastille feat. F*U*G*Z Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you want, to be free?
To live your life
The way you wanna be
Will you give, if we cry?
Will we live, or will we die?

Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Solitary brother

Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?
Tainted Hearts

Heal with Time
Shoot our love
So we can
Stop the end

Will you give, if we cry?
Will we live, or will we die?
Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?

Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?

Solitary brother
Is there still a part of you that wants to live?
Solitary sister
Is there still a part of you that wants to give?




Wants to give?
That wants to give?
