| You were shot in the back for our sins,
|
| Ones that we failed to ever commit.
|
| They’d surely turn us in at the hospital
|
| And it’d be off to the gallows we’d go.
|
| So I will carry you forever if you just keep breathing.
|
| Oh, don’t you know I will never let you go.
|
| Oh, don’t you know I will never let you, never let you go.
|
| There’s nowhere to hide, it’s all sand (so much distance)
|
| And only one friend who would take us in.
|
| But he’s a whole day’s walk away
|
| And my arms just can’t manage the weight.
|
| So, I will lay with you forever if you just keep breathing.
|
| Oh, don’t you know I will never let you go.
|
| Oh, don’t you know I will never let you, never let you.
|
| We can’t afford love, they’re already coming for us, for us.
|
| Our love is something they can never take from us.
|
| Just keep breathing.
|
| I promise your death is not in vain my love, it’s death to them.
|
| God knows how much time is left.
|
| So, as you take your final breath,
|
| think about the way we used to dance.
|
| Oh, I can see it now.
|
| Oh, don’t you know I will never let you go.
|
| Oh, don’t you know I will never let you, never, never!
|
| We can’t afford love, they already took her from us. |
| From us. |
