skillet- open wounds

[babysnakes]

does anyone know a page on the web giving the lyrics to "open wounds"? i couldn't seem to find any myself...

 

[Panthoryn]

Me either! I didn't even know they had a new song out.

 

[XVII]

by the way, some people think these lyrics arent christian...response?

 

[XVII]

In the dark with the music on
Wishing I was somewhere else
Taking all your anger out on me, somebody help
I would rather rot alone
Then spend a minute with you
I'm gone, I'm gone

And you can't stop me from falling apart
'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault

(Chorus)
How could you, how could you, how could you hate me?
When all I ever wanted to be was you?
How could you, how could you, how could you love me?
When all you ever gave me were open wounds?

Downstairs the enemy sleeps
Leaving the TV on
Watching all the dreams we had turn into static
Doesn't matter what I do
Nothing's gonna change
I'm never good enough

And you can't stop me from falling apart
'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault

(Chorus)

Tell me why you broke me down and betrayed my trust in you
I'm not giving up, giving in when will this war end?
When will it end???

You can't stop me from falling apart (3X)
'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault.

(Chorus)

(Vamp out)

are the lyrics

You can go to www.letssingit.com. They give lots of Christian lyrics. The song was written by John Cooper and is about his relationship he had with his father.

 

[XVII]

how did you figure that out about him writing it about his relationship he had with his father? i take it open wounds are a metaphor for abuse?
