Damage
Through Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I dug so deep
To find some peace
I buried you, now you're dead to me, dead to me
You still try to
Claw your way through
Leaving your scars all over me, over me

I know you won't let go of me
I'll take my life, just let me be!

I don't wanna love you
I don't wanna hate you
Buried alive, this damage won't die!
I thought I forgot you!
I thought I forgave you!
Forever mine, this damage won't die!

I feel your breath
Breathe down my neck
I hear your voice always echoing, echoing
I can't escape
To seal the fate
Put me out of this misery, misery

I know you won't let go of me
I'll take my life, just let me be!

I don't wanna love you
I don't wanna hate you
Buried alive, this damage won't die!
I thought I forgot you!
I thought I forgave you!
Forever mine, this damage won't die!

It's burning in my veins (oh oh)
As your poison fuels these flames (oh)
Cut me, bleed me dry (aah)
While I've made every sacrifice (aah)
It's time to take back my life!

I don't wanna love you
I don't wanna hate you
Buried alive, this damage won't die!
I thought I forgot you!
I thought I forgave you!
Forever mine, this damage won't die!

This damage won't die!
This damage won't (die!)
I don't wanna love you




I don't wanna hate you
Buried alive, this damage won't die!
