Bullet for My Valentine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more I'm taking this hatred from you
You make me feel dead when I'm talking to you
You take me for granted when I'm not around
So burn all your bridges
'Cause I'm not going down (down)
I'm not gonna burn
It's funny how the table, how the table turns
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
I hope you're unhappy and hurting inside
I want you to choke when you swallow your pride
Laying in your coffin asleep with your sins
Give me the nails and I'll hammer them in
Right now
This time you won't be heard
You are gonna burn
It's funny how the table, how the table turns
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
This time you won't be heard
You are gonna burn
It's funny how the table, how the table turns
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
You fake (fake) your damnation
You pray (pray) for salvation
'Cause your heart is made of stone
You can die and rot alone
You can die and rot alone
Just die and rot alone
This time you won't be heard
(This time you won't be heard)
This time you won't be heard
