Elizabeth
Divided Minds Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My open arms
Never been so wide before
My lucky charm
Can get me through the war

You made sure i'm safe
You let my mind alone
You kept me tamed

Before i lost control

You taught me how to hold my cries
You taught me how to tie a tie
Superheroes were never meant to die

And i can't be upset
When you were not your own
And i am on the edge
When you were not at home

So just make sure
That closure's what your asking for

You taught me what wasn't right
You taught me how to end the fight
I never wanna see my mother cry...

You taught me i was never wrong
You told me to write a song
Superheroes were never meant to die...

I'm thinking that
I should rather die...

I never wanna see my mother cry...
