Fall
Marchtwelve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you be here to tell me i'll be okay
Would time be able to tell
When life will take me away
To an non-existent yesterday.
*can you save me
Before i return to fall so deep
Should i be scared if i did
Should i be scared if i went at all
With all the smoke that hazes me
To drug me to silent sleep
Are they gonna shut my eyes
And tape them so i cannot see
Would it be better to have no eyes
To see what might scar me for life
Would u cut me deep
And tear my heart out too
So i wouldnt be able to feel
Any hurt
Should i be worried that there might be
No one to catch me
