See The Light
Matrimony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Used to be that I would wait alone
Waiting for you to come home
Used to be scared of what I'd find
Wonderin if I was on your mind
You been gone gone a long time
Wrapped up in your own mind
Always felt you took me for a ride
Never knew I tried to save your life
You're only living for the night
Will you see the light
All you wanna do is fight
Don't live such a lie,
come and see the light
It could do you some right
I keep on my way




Keep on walkin my way
So I don't start losin my mind
