thanks
Unsilent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once again thoughts turn to words
Which keep a pain
Of memories about the time
When you could see a sunrise in my eyes

But saw just tears and fear

I remember these evenings
Though I try to strike them out from my mind
When the cops whipped you away
Leaving tears on her cheeks

And bitterness in the soul
The biggest part of what you gave me

This nightmare happens over and over again
And it has become just a normal part of our lives
But deep inside me i feel that something is not alright
And it's hard to remember one good thing related to you





But I want to tell you "thanks"
You've shown me what I shouldn't be
