BILLY TALENT LYRICS - Saint Veronika

"Saint Veronika"



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 drugs 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
