God Bless You
Black Veil Brides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We leave to a better place
And all I know is what you left
A love I can't erase
All the same in love and war
Burn my name and ashes scorn
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
Well god bless you
Shed those faded memories
This is your curtain call
I've had enough of sympathy
It's time to watch you fall
All the same in love and war
You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
So god bless you
God bless you
God bless you
God bless you
You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
So god bless you
God bless you
God bless you
God bless you
The lyrics of Black Veil Brides' "God Bless You" talk about a relationship that has ended but not in a positive way. The singer is unhappy with how their partner left them with "broken lies" and has had enough of the sympathy they receive after the relationship ends, wanting instead to watch their former partner "fall". They express that they have no more time for goodbyes and wish their ex-partner God's blessings.
The chorus repeats "You left me with these broken lies and I let you, got no more time for your goodbyes, so god bless you." The singer feels that their partner deceived them in some way, and while they may still have strong feelings of love, they are also angry and resentful.
The phrase "All the same in love and war" implies that the end of a relationship can be as brutal as any battlefield, and that the singer may have played a role in the break-up. Despite this, they are determined to move on and cast aside memories of their former partner, but not before expressing their feelings of betrayal and disappointment.
