The Dirt
Candlelight Red Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You became a part of me,
The center and the heart of me
You fit inside the space you’ve emptied
But I can feel the burnings in
Every time you breathe
It’s you that heals me
It’s you that heals my wounds
Falling faster, deeper I’ve become
A break of salvation
Face down now I finally see the truth
I was a dirt for you, I was a dirt for you
And I’m falling inside of this hole that was meant for you

Now you can say this is death to
Or listen the words I’ve sent to you
But I know what you are
'Cause I live with these scars
And I can feel the burnings in
Every time you breathe
It’s you that heals me
It’s you that heals my wounds

Falling faster, deeper I’ve become
A break of salvation
Face down now I finally see the truth
I was a dirt for you, I was a dirt for you
And I’m falling inside of this hole that was meant for you

Falling faster, deeper I’ve become
A break of salvation
Face down now I finally see the truth
I was a dirt for you, I was a dirt for you
And I’m falling inside of this hole that was meant for you

Dirt for you, dirt for you
Dirt for you, dirt for you




Dirt for you, dirt for you
Dirt for you, dirt for you
