Lyrics
Amber
Sunday evening 6pm, so lonely...
Heartache knocked on your door like a disaster untouchable in your heart
It wouldn't leave you alone, wouldn't leave you alone...
Death always seemed so easy for you
You always died on the inside and smiled through your pain, since heroin...
It took you, it took you away...
It took you, it took you away...
A scarred, tender age left cold and grey
Like dying roses on your grave
Your burning flame couldn't be tamed, as the lines on your mirror
If all of my tears could build a staircase,
I'd run right down to hell and bring you back home again...
Your memory pierces my heart, it tears me apart
Sometimes the only way to stay is to leave...
It took you, it took you away...
It took you, it took you away...
Heroin gave you your new home
Heroin dug you your own hole
Heroin made you want to stay
Heroin took you, it took you away...
It took you away...
It took you away...
