So come here, so we can understand each other, I don't know
Your gaze got lost from mine
My heart is so far from yours
I want to see you again
So today I can tell you
That indecision tightened in my heart
That pressure of yes or no
Just thinking about losing you one day
I made this song so you won't forget me
Look at me, let me look at you
Come closer, today I'm going to tell you
Hold me and your body to mine
Your heart never forgot me
In life, there can be thousands
But none will be like you
With me, love was real
That made my life happen
I trade a star for a kiss from you
I trade that moon for your gaze
I stop living my paradise
My truth is you, my home
In life, there can be thousands
But none will be like you
With me, love was real
That made my life happen
I trade a star for a kiss from you
I trade that moon for your gaze
I stop living in paradise
My truth is you, my home
La, laiá, laiá
Wait a minute, I really need to talk
So come here, so we can understand each other, I don't know
Your gaze got lost from mine
My heart is so far from yours
I want to see you again
So today I can tell you
That indecision tightened in my heart
That pressure of yes or no
Just thinking about losing you one day
I made this song so you won't forget me
Look at me, let me look at you
Come closer, today I'm going to tell you
Hold me and your body to mine
Your heart never forgot me
In life, there can be thousands
But none will be like you
With me, love was real
That made my life happen
I trade a star for a kiss from you
I trade that moon for your gaze
I stop living my paradise
My truth is you, my home
In life, there can be thousands
But none will be like you
With me, love was real
That made my life happen
I trade a star for a kiss from you
I trade that moon for your gaze
I stop living in paradise
My truth is you, my home
La, laiá, laiá
