Billy Talent - Saint Veronika lyrics

rate me

<BR>

They found an empty bottle on her windowsill<br>

The day her mother lost her sleeping pills<br>

She was sick and tired of being invisible<br>

Hard to see in color when you're miserable<br>

<br>

Veronika, Saint Veronika<br>

You can't leave this world behind<br>

So be strong enough to hold onto us<br>

We're still right here by your side<br>

<br>

No one ever thought that she was capable<br>

And the damage done is irreversible<br>

Now she clings to life inside a hospital<br>

Like she's trapped inside a frozen waterfall<br>

Always said her life was never meant to be<br>

Stuck here living someone else's dream<br>

Well beyond your window there is so much more<br>

Even every prison has a open door<br>

<br>

Veronika, Saint Veronika<br>

You can't leave this world behind<br>

So be strong enough to hold onto us<br>

It's just not your time to die<br>

<br>

And while the angels sleep<br>

All of the devils are awake<br>

Waiting to steal your love<br>

Right outside of Heaven's gate<br>

And all the sacred hearts<br>

Can't numb the feeling from the pain<br>

Cause when the drugs don't work<br>

You're gonna curse His holy name<br>

Damn God, yeah, God, yeah<br>

Damn God, yeah, God, yeah<br>

<br>

Veronika, Saint Veronika<br>

You can't leave this world behind<br>

Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika<br>

We're still right here by your side<br>

So be strong enough to hold onto us<br>

You can't leave this world behind<br>

Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika<br>

It's just not your time to die<br>

<BR><BR>
