That’s why I couldn’t wait for you
You didn’t understand what I wanted
It was to take you away from here, never again
To hear say
That I wasn’t good enough
To make you happy
I made this reggae for you
So you’ll never forget
That I’m still here
And there’s no need to run away
And when you hear, you’ll know
That nothing was in vain
It was all for you
Let it happen!
I made this reggae for you
So you’ll never forget
That I’m still here
And there’s no need to run away
And when you hear, you’ll know
That nothing was in vain
It was all for you
You didn’t even want to hear what I felt
That’s why I couldn’t wait for you
You didn’t understand what I wanted
It was to take you away from here, never again
To hear say
That I wasn’t good enough
To make you happy
I made this reggae for you
So you’ll never forget
That I’m still here
And there’s no need to run away
And when you hear, you’ll know
That nothing was in vain
That it was all for you
Let it happen!
I made this reggae for you
So you’ll never forget
That I’m still here
And there’s no need to run away
And when you hear, you’ll know
That nothing was in vain
Everything I did
Was for you
For you
For you
For you
You didn’t even want to hear
