Life After Anger
Emphatic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tired of feeling like you have a hold on me
I'm tired of feeling like I need to ask to breathe
I need a change I need to find a safer place somewhere far away so I'll forget your face
But every time I try and go you always make me stay

I'm caught in the flames again
I need to find a way out of the danger to a life after anger
I'm caught in a rage again it will be the end of me if I don't find a way out of the danger
To a life after anger

There's been to many times
There's been to many lies
There's been to many reasons now for us to say goodbye
You never change so I need to find a safer place somewhere far away so I'll forget your face

I'm caught in the flames again
I need to find a way out of the danger to a life after anger
I'm caught in a rage again it will be the end of me if I don't find a way out of the danger to a life after anger

I'm tired of feeling like I need to ask to breathe

I'm caught in the flames again
I need to find a way out of the danger to a life after anger
I'm caught in a rage again it will be the end of me if I don't find a way out of the danger




To a life after you
A life after yo
