Borrowed Time
Dig the grave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my life I've tried to
Control my anger, so confused
Feeling taken advantage of
Can't win a war this way
All my life I've tried to
Control my anger, so confused
Feeling taken advantage of
Can't win a war this way
I try to open the door and let you in
These walls are coming down
The truth comes with time
I'm trying
Are you with me
I've come to realize
What's important
We will find a way
We will find a way
Our time is borrowed
We're fortunate to have what we have
All my life I've tried to
Control my anger, so confused
Feeling taken advantage of
Can't win a war this way
You can't win a war if your rotting inside
I try to open the door and let you in
These walls are coming down
The truth, comes with time
I'm trying, I swear, I'm trying
We're fortunate to have what we have
So many reasons to give up
So many reasons to survive
Our time is borrowed
We're fortunate to have what we have
So many reasons to give up
So many reasons to survive
Survive
So many reasons to survive




Survive
So many reasons to survive
