Lacrymosa Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out on your own
Cold and alone again
Can this be what you really wanted
Baby?

[Chorus]
(Lacrimosa)
Blame it on me
(Dies illa)
Set your guilt free
(Lacrimosa)
Nothing can hold you back now
(Requiem)

[Verse 2]
Now that you're gone
I feel like myself again
Grieving the things I can't repair and
Willing

[Chorus]
(Lacrimosa)
To let you blame it on me
(Dies illa)
And set your guilt free
(Lacrimosa)
I don't want to hold you back now love
(Dona eis)

[Post-Chorus]
I can't change who I am

[Bridge]
Not this time
I won't lie
To keep you near me
And in this short life
There's no time to waste on giving up
My love wasn't enough

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
(Lacrimosa)
And you can blame it on me
(Dies illa)
Just set your guilt free, honey
(Lacrimosa)
I don't want to hold you back now love
(Requiem)

[Outro]
(Amen)
