Johnny Foreigner – To The Death lyrics

[Verse: Alexei Berrow]
I need a spell to stop my friends from feeling guilty every time they talk about you
How every sentence led to the last words that they might have said
It's like I've lost a part of them too

So I talk to you

[Verse: Kelly Southern]
I need a drink
I need the distance that the daylight brings to drift into the sleep I lose each night
Your boys parade their sorrows, say there's nothing that they could have done
And I hate myself for thinking they're right

[Pre Chorus: Alexei Berrow]
So no more songs about suicide
Break the swagger in yr stride

[Chorus]
And here's to the death
To the holes in whatever's left
If we're supposed to make the most of every moment
Then how come all the memories I keep are shrapnel sharp, embedded deep?
If you could see the mess you'd leave, would you still?

So here's to the hope
How each and every rope thrown out forms bridges we can build without you
How we talk in abstract terms about our grief and how it strengthens us
And secretly hope that it's true

[Pre Chorus]
Still opens wounds on your birthday
Like one dumb legacy

[Chorus]

Yeah, would you still?
And oh my god!

Then how come all the memories I keep are shrapnel sharp, embedded deep?
If you could see the mess you'd leave, would you?
