For your love that makes me feel light
I'm craving these black eyes
Your snow-white smile
I'm desperate for that look that kills
That hot mouth turning everything upside down
I miss that beautiful face
Asking me to stay just one more second
Like a weed longing for rain
Cold midnight waiting for the sun
So needy, like a prisoner
Living a nightmare, kisses without passion
Wanting to face the world
To always be the guide to your heart
I'm half of a love that vibrates
In a poem turned into a song
Without you, I'm a hunter without prey
Without you, loneliness hugs me
Without you, I'm less than half
Unable to live for myself
Without you, I, without you
I'm longing for your embrace
For your love that makes me feel light
I'm craving these black eyes
Your snow-white smile
I'm desperate for that look that kills
That hot mouth turning everything upside down
I miss that beautiful face
Asking me to stay just one more second
Like a weed longing for rain
Cold midnight waiting for the sun
So needy, like a prisoner
Living a nightmare, kisses without passion
Wanting to face the world
To always be the guide to your heart
I'm half of a love that vibrates
In a poem turned into a song
Without you, I'm a hunter without prey
Without you, loneliness hugs me
Without you, I'm less than half
Unable to live for myself
Without you, I'm a hunter without prey
Without you, loneliness hugs me
Without you, I'm less than half
Unable to live for myself
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
