M. McRae B. Houston R. Davidson-Irwin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought my life was over
You could've snapped my neck
It wouldn't even make a difference
I was a bloody mess
I couldn't get enough of this
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground
I can take it, I can face it now
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground
I was a worthless king
My life just didn't matter
You were a morbid queen
Dancing with this cold cadaver
Hell put me to the test
I couldn't get enough of it
I've been broken, I've been beaten down
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground
I can take it, I can face it now
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground
I was the innocent
(?) the murder on myself
You weren't the only one
Falling from the cross-hairs that you held
I smelled betrayal on your hands
You cut me open where I stand
I was the innocent
I was the innocent
I've been broken, I've been beaten down
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground
I can take it, I can face it now
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground
I've been broken, I've been beaten down
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground
I can take it, I can face it now
That was the last time my heart will ever hit the ground

Dancing with this cold cadaver
You were embracing the lifeless, empty shell that I had become
Hell put me to the test
I have faced the worst that life has to offer
I couldn't get enough of it
I was addicted to the pain and suffering
I was the innocent
I did not deserve the pain and suffering that I endured
(?) the murder on myself
I blame myself for the hardships I faced, although it wasn't my fault
You weren't the only one
I was not the only victim of your cruelty
Falling from the cross-hairs that you held
I was targeted and attacked by you
I smelled betrayal on your hands
I knew that you had deceived and hurt me
You cut me open where I stand
You hurt me deeply, leaving me vulnerable and exposed
