Saint Veronika Lyrics - Billy Talent

Artist: Billy Talent

Album: Billy Talent lll

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.

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.
