Where, where is the heart in here
Down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
My love took me down to the river to silence me
And when he left, I could not speak
I lay on the ground, I tried to scream
But no sound did come out, I could only bleed blue
I waited for him til the frost did come
My skin, it turned blue and my body was numb
But my heart, it burned out til there was no more
Still I wait on the ground, I don't know what for
There, there is a heart in me
Where, where is the heart in me
This love's killing me but I want it to
So long you're gone just like I always knew
But I'm still here waiting for you
Here, waiting for you
My love took me down to the river to silence me
And when he left, I could not speak
What he said to me, I can never say
Because it's breaking my heart til this very day
There, there is a heart in me
Where, where is the heart in me
This love's killing me but I want it to
So long you're gone just like I always knew
But I'm still here waiting for you
Here, waiting for you
Down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
Love took me down to the river to silence me
There, there is a heart in me
Where, where is the heart in me
This love's killing me but I want it to
So long you're gone just like I always knew
But I'm still here waiting for you
Here, waiting for you
Here, waiting for you
Here, waiting for you

My love took me down to the river to silence me
The one I love brought me to the river to stop me from feeling so much pain
And when he left, I could not speak
After he left, I was unable to express how much pain I was in
I lay on the ground, I tried to scream
I was so hurt that I was reduced to writhing on the ground and attempting to scream to relieve the agony
But no sound did come out, I could only bleed blue
No matter how hard I tried to scream, I couldn't put my pain into words, only tears instead
I waited for him til the frost did come
Even after he left, I still waited for him, holding onto the hope that he would return
My skin, it turned blue and my body was numb
I was so hurt that it started to show physically as the coldness spread throughout my body
But my heart, it burned out til there was no more
Despite being numb, my emotions were so painful that they burned out until there was nothing left
Still I wait on the ground, I don't know what for
I am still waiting on the ground, even though I don't know what I am waiting for
This love's killing me but I want it to
My love for him is causing me so much pain, but I still want to keep feeling it
So long you're gone just like I always knew
Even though he's gone, it was something that I was almost expecting
But I'm still here waiting for you
Here, waiting for you
Despite the hurt, I am still here and waiting for him to come back
What he said to me, I can never say
Because it's breaking my heart til this very day
I cannot even repeat the hurtful things he said because they continue to hurt me and break my heart

Unbelievably powerful and hauntingly beautiful song. Their harmonies send shivers down my spine and my heart aches a little to think of how much pain someone must have been in to write a song like this.
@AWhileHanlin
Such a powerful song about an abusive, dependant relationship. Her self cry for help; "there is a heart in here, where is the heart in here" shows how she wants to be strong and get away for herself but is so dependant on her abuser she finds it easier to be 'silenced' and waits for her abuser to come back. very sad song and depicts the emotions of some types of domestic abuse very well. great to see meaningful, challenging songs are still being made among the majority of other dullness.

It's about much more than murder. It's about the pain of betrayal. Mental as well as Physical abuse. She was expecting romance. Instead, savagely Murdered. Although her body lay dead. Her love for him held on hoping for his return.
No matter how Abusive he was to her.
