"Buried Alive By Love" lyrics

"Buried Alive By Love"

Again, the burden of losing
Rests upon my shoulders
And its weight seems unbearable
"Your tomb is where your heart is"
I should've told her
But within me hid a secret so terrible

To cry is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been
Buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

The kiss of vanity blessed me
With a spiritual murder
And fed the gods of war insatiable
"Your home is where the dark is"
I should've told her
And embraced the fire indestructible

To die is to know that you're alive
And my river of blood won't run dry
I never wanted to lose you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been
Buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

Oh, they say to cry
Is to know that you're alive
But my river of tears has run dry
I never wanted to fool you, no
But a cold heart is a dead heart
And a deserted soul is gone
A cold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been
Buried alive by love

If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile
If I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to take
If I wake before I die
Rescue me with your smile

I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
Buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
I've been buried alive by love
