Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unconditional love
Takes all my strength
For me not to cut my throat
Out of my sight
But forever in my mind
Let emotion take over
These scars have faded away
With all the tears
Memories burn holes in my heart
Let the blackness shine through
Cold numb in my mind
Burns right through these eyes
Slow moving time
Bleeding out my sickness
I'm still waiting drained
Stumbled over a piece of my past
Only wanting
To forget
Sacrifice this love
Sacrifice our love
Sacrifice my love
Unconditional love
Unconditional love
Unconditional love
Unconditional love
You promised me
Unconditional
Unconditional love
