Survive
Jeremy Passion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody says that, if you love something let it go.
But she never came back.
So I guess I'll never know.
Anticipations killing me inside.
Hope don't seem to let me go,
And I don't know why.
Now I find it hard to breather cuz you were my air supply.
Used to be my sun, moon, & stars & someone stole the sky.
Now I gotta figure out-
How I'll ever make it out alive
I try to find the tears to cry.
Can we just give it another try?
I need to know
How I'll ever make it out alive
Tell me where's the good in goodbye?
I'm fighting so hard to survive, to survive.
(Ohhh)

Oh these chains are hurting me.
Imprisoned in my own mind.
Faded pictures of the love we had.
Pinned to life with no key to find (ohhh)
God is there an antidote?
Cuz my heart can't seem to let her go
& I don't know why.

Now I find it hard to breathe cuz you
Used to be my sun, moon & stars & someone stole the sky
Now I gotta figure out
How I'll ever make it out alive
I try to find the tears to cry.
Can we just give it another try?
I need to know
How I'll ever make it out alive
Tell me where's the good in goodbye?
I'm fighting so hard to survive, to survive.

If you're a survivor & you know it made you stronger say yeah, yeah yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
All the lovers in the house that know how to work it out say yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ooooo wish I could've made you stay.
But in his arms you found a place
But what about me?
What about me?
I need to survive

How I'll ever make it out alive
I try to find the tears to cry
Can we just give it another try? I need to know
How I'll ever make it out alive




Tell me where's the good in goodbye?
I'm fighting so hard to survive, to survive.
