Stop
JTS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothin’s ever hurt me this bad
Nothin’s ever hit me this hard
I’ve never ever felt this much rain
Fall on my heart

Did we have to leave it this way
What about the words left unsaid
Don’t you know the deeper I look

The darker it gets

I’m gonna turn and face the sun
I’m gonna walk ‘til I can run
Gonna lift my voice and sing
Spread my broken wings
‘Til I start flyin’
When I stop cryin’

Everybody stumbles and falls
Here I am down on my knees
Lord won’t you please hear my call
Have mercy on me

I’m gonna turn and face the sun
I’m gonna walk ‘til I can run
Gonna lift my voice and sing
Spread my broken wings
‘Til I start flyin’
When I stop cryin’

I’m gonna turn and face the sun
I’m gonna walk ‘til I can run
Gonna lift my voice and sing
Spread my broken wings

‘Til I start flyin’
When I stop cryin’
