My Heart Will Go On
M.t.b. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought that I was dead
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
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 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
