Stage IV
Camisado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did I survive this accident?
Open my eyes and I realize
That I am the patient
All this time I thought that I had
Was gone just like that
Without even a fucking notice
I held on as long as I could
I still can’t let go
There’s a part of me that still
Needs you to know
I still can’t let go
I can’t deny the pain
It’s not fair that
I still cannot let go
I’ll do anything
Fucking anything
It’s so sad that
I still cannot let go
These machines are
Keeping me alive
But would I know the difference
If I were to die
You were everything
That kept my heart whole
Now it’s dark once again
A body with no soul
Is this what I get?
A pain can’t forget
I took out
Everything
To get rid of you
From my heart
But I still miss you
If I could accept that you’re gone
I wouldn’t need this IV
But the only thing I’ll accept
Is that you’ll always be a part of me
