Billy Talent Love Was Still Around lyrics

Alive and right before your eyes,
it's easy to think twice,
I just can't change your life!

Angry fists, angry eyes, thought you'd take them by surprise,
and unleash all your demons upon them,
with your guns and your knives,
left them fighting to survive,
you're the villain, but you play the victim,
never took no advice, did you ever realize,
that your violence had taken your virtue,
well you can't wash away, the mistakes of yesterday,
when the boys in blue come to greet you

And I can hear the sirens still calling your name,
and I can see the ashes rise up from the flames,
when love was still around, when love was still around,
one day before it all came crashing down,

Should you stop and regret,
when the voice inside your head,
got so quiet that you hear a pin drop,
did you still like the view,
when the guns were aimed at you,
screamin' out of the house with your hands up!

Now you wait in the line,
for the prison bell to chime,
saying I fought the law but the law won!
When you're done servin' time,
you can look them in the eye,
while you count all the lives that you've broken!


And I can hear the sirens still calling your name,
and I can see the ashes rise up from the flames,
when love was still around, when love was still around,
one day before it all came crashing down,

And I can see the flashin' lights take you away,
and now the tears are rollin' down your mother's face,
when love was still around, when love was still around,
one day before it all came crashing down,
when love was still around, when love was still around,
some day you'll see the life that you turned down!

And I can hear the sirens still calling your name,
and I can see the ashes rise up from the flames,
when love was still around, when love was still around,
one day before it all came crashing down,

And I can see the flashin' lights take you away,
and now the tears are rollin' down your mother's face,
when love was still around, when love was still around,
one day before it all came crashing down,
when love was still around, when love was still around,
one day before it all came crashing down,
when love was still around, when love was still around,
some day you'll see the life that you turned down!

Alive, and right before your eyes!
it's easy to think twice,
I just can't change your life!
