In the Still of the Night
Sarah and the Rippers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just when I thought our love was here to stay
Just when I thought you'll never ever go away
You said it's time for you to go
But I'm not sure I really know
Why you are leaving

And when we finally say our last goodbye
I'll never make it hard for you
You won't even see me cry
And though there's tears inside of me
I'm gonna let your heart go free

Before you leave
There's just one thing
That I want you to know

I still believe in loving you
In spite of all the hurts
That I'm going through

Even if again and again you'd break my heart
One thing would never change
I still believe in loving you

If you would tell me that you'll be alright
I'll never let you see me blue
But I'll keep our love alive
And though I'm feeling incomplete
I guess that this is what you need

Before you leave
There's just one thing
That I want you to know

I still believe in loving you
In spite of all the hurts
That I'm going through

Even if again and again you'd break my heart




One thing would never change
I still believe in loving you

I really don’t know how I feel about this

@parallaxview2143

I'll help you out. Disgust.

I feel that it's pointless gore, posed as some pseudo enlightenment.
Let the dead rest in peace not morbid entertainment.
If somebody wants too play with ai choose a more appropriate theme.

@@thomasalexander5322 Yeah, that’s along the lines of my thinking too. These women were horribly mutilated. If it happened to me I’m not sure I’d want someone a century down the line trying to recreate my corpse to post to the world.
