Follow
The Mess Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dark rooms and empty hallways haunt me
They tell a story of a different time
A time when I could hear their voices
Echo off the walls
A time when things were fine

Can't find a reason to live this life
Except for you and you alone

I'll follow you till the end
Your arms are the only ones that catch me
When I fall and hit the ground
You are the only one to rescue me

Its been so long since I've been truly happy
Can't find the meaning in living for myself
When everything I touch just turns to dust
And everyone I've lived for turns and walks away

Cant find a reason to live this life
Except for you and you alone

I'll follow you till the end
Your arms are the only ones that catch me
When I fall and hit the ground
You are the only one to rescue me

Falling to pieces
Watching my life burst at the seems
But I'm not alone
I'm not alone
You're always there to see me through
Falling to pieces
Watch my life pass before my eyes
But in the end
You'll be there
The greatest love I ever knew

I'll follow you till the end
Your arms are the only ones that catch me
When I fall and hit the ground
You are the only one to rescue me
I'll follow you till the end
Your arms are the only ones that catch me




When I fall and hit the ground
You are the only one to rescue me
