Still – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Outside my window
The world moves on without us
While my heart is standing still
If we are over
Then why do memories still
Play like a silent film?
You're still the one that moves me
And makes my fingers play
That fills my heart to say the words
That I did yesterday
I still feel that way
No, nothing's changed
And I wish you felt the same way
Don't say it's too late
Or that my dream is crazy
'Cause inside I still believe
That you're still the one for me
...
