Leave It All Behind
Sleeping with Sirens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm only human, so don't expect too much from me
I lost my faith, what have I become?
I don't think I can be safe from what I'm running for
Will you remember me
If I were to fall into the sky?
And what will they think of me
When I leave it all behind?
Would you be so surprised if I gave up tonight?
I'm barely breathing, I wanna kill the pain I feel inside
But I won't quit for the people I love
So I'll say I'm fine until the day I fucking see the light
Will you remember me
If I were to fall into the sky?
And what will they think of me
If I leave it all behind?
When I leave it all behind?
If you feel like you are nothing
If you feel like letting go
I'll be your hope when you are hopeless
Together, we are not alone
You're not alone
Will you remember me (remember me)
If I were to fall into the sky? (Fall into the sky)
And what will they think of me (think of me)
If I leave it all behind?
When I leave it all behind?
Yeah

OMG, I felt the same way!! I was like woahhhh wait a second, SWS is one those bands that ABSOLUTELY can not replace the lead singer and keep going, no Kellin...no SWS!!! Then he started singing and the heavens opened up 😂😂😂!!! But there's 2 things I really feel I need to know... 1. Why blonde?? He has awesome dark hair!! And even more important... 2. Did he find the fountain of youth or sell his soul to the devil??? He just doesn't age!!! At all!!! He still looks exactly the same every year that goes by!! A 30+ year old man that still passes for 16!!! It's unbelievably amazing and I want the secret!!! 😂😂😍😍 I'm so glad their back, and hitting it harder then ever!!! Gonna be a great year in music!!!!!!
