Bless You
Blake Ruby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everything you do for me
Even when I make it hard for you to breathe
Sometimes
I′m sick
And tired of the bullshit
And these people that this came with
Oh we′re all just slowly dying
I know
I'm good at slowing down your growth
Lately I've been stealing too much of your soul
Just to nurture mine
Who cares
My thoughts can be to much to bear
It′s much easier to act so unaware
Than to run and hide
But oh we′re all just slowly dying
Oh we're all just slowly dying
And I don′t know what it is
But you make me feel just like a little kid
And I don't wanna think about
How I feel stuck in hell with no easy way out
Bless you
And everything you do for me
Even when I make it hard for you to see
Whatever′s on my mind
It's tough
When being genuine ain′t just enough
Oh everybody's got their guard up
Because fear can make you blind
But oh we're all just slowly dying
And oh we′re all just slowly dying
And I don′t know what it is
The great things you do can't beat the things you did
And I don′t wanna think about
How everybody's just looking for the easy way out
Help me
I don′t think that I can see
That everyone who does so much for me
Is also terrified
Oh of slowly dying
And oh we're all just slowly dying

Bless you
Thanks for everything you do
And everything you do for me
I appreciate all your hard work
Even when I make it hard for you to breathe
Even when I make it difficult for you
Sometimes
At times
I'm sick
I'm not doing well
And tired of the bullshit
I'm fed up with the lies
And these people that this came with
And the people associated with it
They're all just slowly dying
They're all dying slowly
Oh we're all just slowly dying
We're all slowly dying
I know
I am aware
I'm good at slowing down your growth
I hold you back from progressing
Lately I've been stealing too much of your soul
Lately I've been taking advantage of you
Just to nurture mine
To benefit myself
Who cares
It doesn't matter
My thoughts can be too much to bear
My thoughts can be overwhelming
It's much easier to act so unaware
It's easier to pretend I don't know
Than to run and hide
Than to try to escape
But oh we're all just slowly dying
But we're all dying slowly
And I don't know what it is
I don't know why
But you make me feel just like a little kid
But you make me feel young again
And I don't wanna think about
I don't want to consider
How I feel stuck in hell with no easy way out
How I feel trapped with no escape
Bless you
Thank you
And everything you do for me
For everything you do
Even when I make it hard for you to see
Even when I'm not clear
Whatever's on my mind
Whatever I'm thinking
It's tough
It's difficult
When being genuine ain't just enough
Being real isn't always sufficient
Oh everybody's got their guard up
Everyone is defensive
Because fear can make you blind
Because fear can cloud your judgment
And oh we're all just slowly dying
And we're all slowly dying
And I don't know what it is
I don't know why
The great things you do can't beat the things you did
Your past actions are more significant than current ones
And I don't wanna think about
I don't want to consider
How everybody's just looking for the easy way out
How everyone wants an easy solution
Help me
Assist me
I don't think that I can see
I am confused
That everyone who does so much for me
That everyone who helps me so much
Is also terrified
Is also scared
Oh of slowly dying
Oh of dying slowly
And oh we're all just slowly dying
And we're all slowly dying
