Prague
Muse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It breaks my heart
To leave you far behind
It breaks me up
To leave so suddenly
Knowing we might never
Meet again
It hurts so much
To lose another friend

I could hope you're just as sad
To see me go

But I'd hate to be the cause
Of grief to someone I like so
Knowing we might never
Meet again

It hurts so much
To lose another friend.
