Saint Veronika Lyrics - Billy Talent

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 an open door 

Oh 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
