Closure
The Burial of You and Me Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m so empty
You’re so heartless
Did you even hear me shout for help
All the cries from the lies
I know that you hate me now
But how could I?
With everything we went through
Don’t know how I’ve come this far
Without your touch
You’ll always be my favorite what if
I still dream
Of you and me
How it was meant to be
Us against the world baby
What if you and I
We’re meant to part our separate ways
Just so that we could
Find each other
And be together once again
You said you’d still be here for years and years
Now it’s just me saying it back to myself
Saying back to myself
I think I’m going crazy
You’ll always be my favorite what if
I still dream
Of you and me
How it was meant to be
Us against the world baby
I still believe
You’re the one for me
But you’ll forever be
The one that got away from me
You never gave me closure.
I know it’s over
You never gave me closure
I know it’s over
You couldn’t say it to my face
I know I’m not the one for you
But I still believe
You’re the one for me
You’ll forever be the one
That got away from me
You'll forever be my favorite what if
I still dream
Of you and me
How it was meant to be
Us against the world baby
I still believe
You’re the one for me




But you’ll forever be
The one that got away from me

@musingsofmessa

These open wounds
They just won't heal
The closure is near
I need to get a little closer to
All my demons
From the depth within myself

I can barely close my eyes
They are whispering behind my back
Tried to run and hide
One thing I've learned from this
Is that sinners never sleep

They are rectified in my mind
They are trying to leave behind
I guess is this what being sanity
You fill your heart with misery

My head's filled with voices, my heart full of fear
They're all here around me, they're all very near
I doubt every single choice I make
Need clarity, this life's hanging by a thread

Can't you see, it's killing me
Should I choke myself, or kneel and bow?
There's no way out of this
I hear them sing

FUCK

They are climbing on the fucking walls
Here we go
They won't disappear if you don't
Give them access to your flaming hell
Is this reality, I just can't tell
Breaking me apart, and tearing me to pieces in my sleep

These open wounds
They just won't heal
The closure is near
I need to get a little closer to
All my demons
From the depth within myself
The closure is near
The closure is near

These open wounds
They just won't heal
I need to get a little closer to
All my demons
The closure is near
