Heartstop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tomorrow holds us down but doesn't break us
Another car goes by, another life they'll never know just why
Tomorrow holds them down and always breaks them
Because i've watched the sun as it kissed the sky
And its life at best don't pass this by
Tomorrow holds us down but doesn't break us
I wouldn't trade this life, i wouldn't let it go or let it die
Let tomorrow hold them down but don't ever let it break us
Beacuse i've watched the sun as it kissed the sky
And it's life at best don't pass this by
I've made mistakes that you have seen
But you stay with me
When i'm falling down you pick me up
And we'll leave this town and never give up
I've watched the sun as it kissed the sky
And it's life at best don't pass this by
I've watched the sun as it kissed the sky
And it's life at best don't pass this by
