lyrics
They say it's hope that kills you
So I remain alive
Morning changes all
But I live late at night
It's hope that kills you
Keep my head up high
As everybody leaves
And I just stay behind
I've spent all these years
Inside my soul
Waiting for someone who's just like you
Grinding down my bones
end up alone
I wish that I could just be with you
They say it's hope that kills you
So I keep looking back
Run into these walls
All just fades to black
It's hope that kills you
And everybody smiles
They all think I'm strong
And that I will survive
So I remain alive
Morning changes all
But I live late at night
It's hope that kills you
Keep my head up high
As everybody leaves
And I just stay behind
I've spent all these years
Inside my soul
Waiting for someone who's just like you
Grinding down my bones
end up alone
I wish that I could just be with you
They say it's hope that kills you
So I keep looking back
Run into these walls
All just fades to black
It's hope that kills you
And everybody smiles
They all think I'm strong
And that I will survive

I have been following VNV and attending their concerts for years. They are an amazing band, so prolific, well travelled, classy, and down to earth. Ronan is such a humble, amazing fellow. I'll never forget his taking a person's cellphone so he could give the person on the other end in hospital a front row experience. But this track, their music, is so moving. Lyrics are so well thought out, and their sound so consistently emotive over the years. Can't say enough good about VNV.
