Brendan O'Brien - Saint Veronika lyrics

They found an empty bottle on her windowsill The day her mother lost her sleeping pills She was sick and tired of being invisible Hard to see in color when you're miserable Veronika, Saint Veronika You can't leave this world behind So be strong enough to hold onto us We're still right here by your side No one ever thought that she was capable And the damage done is irreversible Now she clings to life inside a hospital Like she's trapped inside a frozen waterfall Always said her life was never meant to be Stuck here living someone else's dream Well beyond your window there is so much more Even every prison has a open door Veronika, Saint Veronika You can't leave this world behind So be strong enough to hold onto us It's just not your time to die And while the angels sleep All of the devils are awake Waiting to steal your love Right outside of Heaven's gate And all the sacred hearts Can't numb the feeling from the pain Cause when the d** don't work You're gonna curse His holy name Damn God, yeah, God, yeah Damn God, yeah, God, yeah Veronika, Saint Veronika You can't leave this world behind Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika We're still right here by your side So be strong enough to hold onto us You can't leave this world behind Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika It's just not your time to die
