Few answers
Do you go after what you like?
There are many questions
(What do you do for it?)
(What do you do for it?)
There are many questions, there are few answers
Do you go after what you like?
What do you do for it?
What you are and what you show?
Do you think a commitment is just giving a few samples?
That's not what it means, but I'm not the best proof
Mistakes damage, did you want a new scene?
Do you think a guy doesn't make an effort? after all that was done
I stepped in it, sorry, I'm not perfect
What I feel, shines through
And if someone, with love, appears
Invites with color, forget
The head goes crazy
Do you, say what you feel or prefer to keep it to yourself?
You also wanted different, but you don't take the next step
Do you say what you feel? I didn't say, I omitted
I also wanted different and suddenly I let you go
It works like this: if you sleep, the wave comes
And when you wake up, you may already be surfing another
Easy it never was but we're there chilling
I accepted the mistakes, you always reap something
I reaped and it wasn't little
I accepted, we're there chilling
There are many questions, few answers
Do you go after what you like?
What do you do for it? What you are and what you show?
A commitment is not just a few samples
There are many questions, few answers
Do you go after what you like?
What do you do for it? What you are and what you show?
A commitment is not just a few samples
There's a lot of strange things on this road
Things change out of nowhere
People change out of nowhere
Do you care about that or not?
Doesn't bother me much
I'm really not interested
In adding more questions to the ones I already have, I don't need
How are you seeing this?
Did you see the current situation?
Today I won't undress you, my heart is bad
On the outside, I'm tough
On the inside, sentimental
I don't give what I demand, and that was fundamental
I'm working on it, I want another direction
Heart I'll heal it, this vagabond
I hear when he speaks but sometimes I don't assume
This vagabond talks a lot
There are many questions, few answers
Do you go after what you like?
What do you do for it? What you are and what you show?
A commitment is not just a few samples
There are many questions, few answers
Do you go after what you like?
What do you do for it? What you are and what you show?
A commitment is not just a few samples
There are many questions
There are many questions
