SafetySuit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what if it makes you laugh now
But you cry as you fall asleep?
And what if it takes your breath
And you can hardly breathe?
And what if it makes the last sound
Be the very best sound?
And is it all my fault or can I fix it, please?
?Cause you know that I'm always all for you
?Cause you know that I'm always all for you
And what if it makes you lose faith in me?
And what if makes you question
Every moment you cannot see?
And what if it makes you crash
And you can't find the key?
And what if it makes you ask
How you could let it all go?
What if what I want makes you sad at me?
And is it all my fault or can I fix it, please?
?Cause you know that I'm always all for you
?Cause you know that I'm always all for
Always all for you
And if this be our last conversation
If this be the last time that we speak for awhile
Don't lose hope and don't let go
?Cause you should know
If it makes you sad, if it makes you sad at me
Then it?s all my fault and let me fix it please
?Cause you know that I'm always all for you
?Cause you know that I'm always all for you
What if what I want makes you sad at me?
And if it?s all my fault then let me fix it, please
?Cause you know that I'm always all for you
?Cause you know that I'm always all for
I'm always, I'm all for you
