Sorrow Expert
Iris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could stop the fear and the rage
But it just might save us, save us
A little light blurs inside
And I can only watch until it goes out

Every way we create the illusion
To follow out like a star on the heavens
But all of my journeys leave me the same

I'm just a sorrow expert now
The more I love the more I drown
And the saddest part is I love what's ours
And that's when I give more

Calling us up from the grave
I will come creeping out like a serpent
What I restrain to be safe is overturning

You can take me away
Till I'm dying to start again
When the faith's gone away
Make believe that it's fine again

I'm just a sorrow expert now
The more I love the more I drown
And the saddest part is I love what's ours
And that's when I give more

I'm just a sorrow expert now
The more I love the more I drown
And the saddest part is I love what's ours
And that's when I give more

I'm just a sorrow expert now
The more I love the more I drown
And the saddest part is I love what's ours
And that's when I give more

I'm just a sorrow expert now
The more I love the more I drown




And the saddest part is I love what's ours
And that's when I give more
