Lyrics & Translation
It still hurts me, the damage I've done to you I want to tell you how sorry I am
If you leave, I know what I'll lose
When the silence devours me at night If you leave, I know what I'll lose
My bad, realizing it when I lose you For not giving you what you deserve
Not showing you how much I loved you My bad, realizing it when I lose you
For not giving you what you deserve Not showing you how much I loved you
I'm jealous of whoever looks at you Even the air you breathe
Even the ground you walk on Because it takes you away from me, that's my downfall
I'm jealous of whoever looks at you Even the air you breathe
Even the ground you walk on Because it takes you away from me, that's my downfall
I wanted freedom
I don't want it if you're not here I'm a prisoner of what you give me
What would be my truth
A lie if you're not here I'll stick with what you give me
What I would give my life to kiss your mouth And get lost in your passions
Today without you, I feel my life has gone crazy And I'm missing the colors
I'm jealous of whoever looks at you Even the air you breathe
Even the ground you walk on Because it takes you away from me, that's my downfall
I'm jealous of whoever looks at you Even the air you breathe
Even the ground you walk on Because it takes you away from me, that's my downfall
I'm jealous...
