Travis Garland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hear you now when the winds blows and I fall
Who do you blame when it ain’t nobody’s fault
Crushed a rose and my hand made it bleed
Why do you keep coming back to me
I don’t know where we go
But I hope summer’s raining
Don’t leave me
Where do we go

Why can’t I let you rest in peace
Trying to bury that but I need you
God if you’re listening forgive me please
Why can’t I let you rest in peace

August fall just like rain to the ground
Crashing shelves but they don’t make a sound
What is love I don’t know what it means
Some of my heart understands it seems it seems
I just wanna be near you baby
I just wanna be near you baby
I’m waiting alone

Why can’t I let you rest in peace
Trying to bury the part of me
God if you’re listening i’m on my knees
Why can’t I let you rest in peace

Why can’t I let you rest in peace
Not when I know it should’ve been me




God if you’re listening forgive me please
Why can’t I let you rest in peace
