Hearts Burst Into Fire
Bullet for My Valentine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been gone for far too long
Do you remember me at all?
I'm leaving
Have I fucked things up again?
I'm dreaming
Too much time without you spent
Now I'm torn, now I'm torn
I've been far away
When I see your face
My hearts burst into fire
Hearts burst into fire
You're not alone
I know I'm far from home
Do you remember me at all?
I'm leaving
Do you wait for me again?
I'm screaming
No more days without you spent
It hurts, wounds so sore
Now I'm torn, now I'm torn
I've been far away
When I see your face
My hearts burst into fire
Hearts burst into fire
My bed's so cold, so lonely
No arms, just sheets to hold me
Has this world stopped turning?
Are we forever to be apart?
Forever to be apart
It hurts, wounds so sore
Now I'm torn, now I'm torn
I've been far away
When I see your face
My hearts burst into fire
Hearts burst into fire
I'm coming home, I've been gone for too long
I'm coming home, do you remember me at all?
Do you remember me at all?
I'm leaving, I'm screaming, I'm dreaming
My hearts burst into fire
