Sorrow
SandMarx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can you have arrived again
Your presence's a mistake
Though I wish I'd never wake
The guilt in my heart gonna cause it break

How could we be so right
And time be so wrong
To rob me too soon
But now it's too late anyhow to blame anyone

I'm still searching for you by my side
It's like an eternal quest
But I will feel you by my side
When it's time
You can never hide

I met sorrow
Back home by the entrance door
I knew she would come and what for
X2

I know it frightens me this unknown
Although it frightens me this unknown
I guess we all have to lose
To know what it's like to win
We all have to lose
To see what it's like to be livin'
Oh livin'

I'm still searching for you by my side
It's like an eternal quest
But I will feel you by my side
When it's time
You can never hide

I met sorrow
Back home by the entrance door
I knew she would come and what for
X2

'cause you're gone
And everything just reminds me
Of the day when your time went fast
And too slow went mine
It's killing me the pain knowing I
Didn't reach you in time

'cause you're gone
And everything just remindes me
Of the day when your time went fast
And too slow went mine
It's killing me the pain knowing I
Didn't reach you in time

It's killing me the pain knowing I
Didn't reach you in time




It's killing me the pain that I
Didn't make it to say goodbye
