Confessions
Bury Tomorrow (UK) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breathe! Oh God, breathe!
Breathe! Oh god please breathe!
I hate everything about you
But it seems I have to clean up all the damage you do
So I just sit and wait
It's just a cut at the throat
For months I've had to swallow my pride
You don't know how much that killed me inside
And I'm waiting for a sign,
To show you that,
That this is my crime
And I know why,
I know why I can't
Confess to this,
Show you what I am
I said I'd find you I fucking did
I'll shred the integrity you have left
I'm so fucking sick of you,
It's just a cut at the throat,
It's just a cut at the throat
We'll see who's laughing now
And I want you to know
That this is a time for me to show
And I just want you to know,
That I just need those words, to go
Waiting alone for a sign
To show you that, that this is my crime
And I know why, and I know why I care
Lets do this, show you what I am
We're set to sail all the skies
We won't be seeing the light anymore
It's the price I've paid too much,
It's over, what have I done
What have I fucking done




Bodies will fall, bodies will fall it's the price they pay! [x2]
It's the price they pay [x2]

Will always be a band that brings me all the way back to the Good, no to the Great times and the bad times. Both which conceive great memories.
