Earthbound
Wither Away Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The family was always a bother, but was like no one other
And I can't make the same mistake, knowing the toll it had on me
How could I make a family, knowing we wouldn't be one
When she left I felt nothing, I left my emotion by my weeping father's side
An ocean of hate and disdain
For the curse that plagued by father and mother...
Won't plague me
I thank you for the pain, that left my heart tender
For someone who knew better
Aause now I know better
And she is everything I need, though some days I can't see
The good I have in me, radiates in everything she believes
Two people embody, the happiness of a group
"This isn't love, if you're not happy"
That's a lie, and you know it!
And I will take my life and mold it to be with love as a priority
Not only for me, but the ones I bring into this world they'll see
They will see, they will see
It's like losing a piece of you you can't get back
And how will I act?
When you're gone, when you're gone.
I'll sing this song, I'll sing this song
Two people embody, the happiness of a group
"This isn't love, if you're not happy"
That's a lie, and you know it!
And I will take my life and mold it to be, with love as a priority
Not only for me, but the ones I bring into this world they'll see
