Fragments
Sister Shotgun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And when the dawn breaks upon my skin
I'll pray that our eyes one day meet again
Waiting and watching you walk away
I'd give it all just to make you stay.

I can't breathe. Just want to catch self as I fall again

I can't see, your halo is blinding me

The secrets that we hold
Weigh more on my mind
The love that wasn't told
Is breaking the ties that bind


I'll stay here motionless silently,
Still in the pain that envelops me
Screaming and trying to find my strength





But I lost all feeling the day you left
