Vera Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The days that you're around
You see I glow, glow
I don't want you to know
The demons that appear when you're away
Haunting my bones, oh
I'm afraid to be honest
Saying don't let go, don't get too close
Looking over the edge
Looking over the edge
Looking over, I'm already falling
Gotta try to forgive
Gotta try to forget
Gotta try it, there's no way of stopping
The past can keep the ghost of me
I'm trying my best
Looking over I'm already falling
I won't know what to say
When my jealousy and fear
Go up in flames, flames
But you always wait so patiently
Until I accept my fate
My faith, I fall I fall
Looking over the edge
Looking over the edge
Looking over, I'm already falling
Gotta try to forgive
Gotta try to forget
Gotta try it, there's no way of stopping
The past can keep the ghost of me
I'm trying my best (trying my best)
Looking over I'm already falling
I glow when you're around me
Voices ain't gonna haunt me
Trust fall, I know that you got me
I know that, I know that you got me
I glow when you're around me
Voices ain't gonna haunt me
Trust fall, I know that you got me
I know that, I know that you got me
Looking over the edge
Looking over edge
Looking over, I'm already falling
Gotta try to forgive
Gotta try to forget
Gotta try it, there's no way of stopping
The past can keep the ghost of me
I'm trying my best (trying my best)
Looking over I'm already falling
I glow when you're around me (around me)
Voices ain't gonna haunt me (no)
Trust fall, I know that you got me
I know that, I know that you got me
I glow when you're around me
Voices ain't gonna haunt me
Trust fall, I know that you got me
I know that, I know that you got me
I glow when you're around me
Voices ain't gonna haunt me
Trust fall, I know that you got me
I know that, I know that you got me

Haunting my bones, oh
Affecting me deeply, causing intense discomfort

'Cause the voices keep on talking
Because the negative thoughts and doubts persist
Saying don't let go, don't get too close

You consistently exhibit patience in waiting for me
Until I accept my fate
Until I embrace and come to terms with my destiny
My faith, I fall I fall
My trust in you grows, and I surrender myself completely
Voices ain't gonna haunt me
I will not let the negative thoughts and doubts affect me
Trust fall, I know that you got me

I shine brightly when you are in my presence
Looking over edge
Pondering the risks involved
I know that, I know that you got me
I am aware and confident that you will be there for me
