All My Love
Jaz Coleman and Youth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I've been burning my bridges slowly
I look at my own reflection, it's haunting me
And I know I do this to myself
And I'm always trying to keep it at a steady pace
But you know I gave everything away
Now I'm withdrawing on your floor
I watched the life leave your eyes
I watched you die
But I still need more
I'm selfish, I'm worthless
Why was it them instead of me
Oh God, why instead of me
All my friends are dead, I'm hanging by a thread
And nothing stops this sinking feeling, when I'm alone again
I wrote this song for you,
I know it's too late to ever reach you
I'll close my eyes and pretend you're here with me
We all fall down
We all fall down
And I left my heart inside a landmine, thought it'd keep me safe, thought it'd keep me safe
And I left my thoughts somewhere I don't like,
said you'd keep me safe, said you'd keep me safe
We're singing all my friends are dead
All my friends are dead
All my friends are dead, I'm hanging by a thread
And nothing stops this sinking feeling, when I'm alone again
I wrote this song for you,
I know it's too late to ever reach you
I'll close my eyes and pretend you're here with me




And I miss you
All my friends are dead
