Bury Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through sickness, through sorrow.
I need you on my side, just give me the chance, just give me the sign!
I said I'd never let you go
but time has played it's role
and this is how it ends.
Uncertain, unprepared, forever in despair.
Fight on!
Alive!
You cannot leave me on my own, it's no life worth living.
I shouldn't have to do this on my own at the beginning.
We made sacrifices.
We made sacrifices.
Blind, we follow.
Through sickness, through sorrow.
I need you on my side, just give me chance, just give me the sign!
We follow
Through sickness, through sorrow.
I need you on my side, just give me chance
I said I'd never let you go, for once just stay, don't go.
And this is how it ends.
Uncertain, unprepared, forever in despair.
Alone and I am scared.
Live on!
Losing a battle to the game of life,
Love was your downfall.
Finding our solace in the moment
for your heart and for your memory
for your heart and for your memory
As the last bit of breath slowly leaves your lungs.
When the blood seizes within your veins.
I remember the last thing I heard you say.
You say you "feel me in your heart",
Now I feel you in my soul.
I feel you in my soul
We were like stone.
