Believe In Me
Fear and Blade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will you text me back when you watch my body fall
Will you draw hearts in my yearbook memorial
Do you still believe in god
Jump from the highway into the street
Note on my door that I'm never coming home
I am not the part of me that lives past eighteen
I was never meant to make it out alone
Starved and selfish
Scarred and self ashamed
Blood on my skin
Let the rain in
Wash it down the drain
