Escaping nights without you with shadows on the wall 00:10
My mind is running wild, trying hard not to fall 00:15

[English]

Escaping nights without you with shadows on the wall
My mind is running wild, trying hard not to fall
You told me that you love me
But say, I'm just a friend
My heart is broken up into pieces
'Cause I know I'll never free my soul
It's trapped in between true love and being alone
When my eyes are closed, the greatest story told
I woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floor
Why? Oh, why?
Tell me, why not me?
Why? Oh, why?
We were meant to be
Baby, I know I could be all you need
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
I wanna love you
If you only knew how much I love you
So, why not me?
The day after tomorrow I'll still be around
To catch you when you fall, and never let you down
You say that we're forever, our love will never end
I've tried to come up, but it's drowning me to know
You'll never free my soul
It's trapped in between true love and being alone
When my eyes are closed the greatest story told
I woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floor
Tell me, baby
Why? Oh, why?
Tell me, why not me?
Why? Oh, why?
We were meant to be
Baby, I know I could be all you need
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
I wanna love you
If you only knew how much I love you
So, why not me?
You won't ever know
How far we can go, go
You won't ever know
How far we can go, go
Why? Oh, why?
Tell me, why not me?
Why? Oh, why?
We were meant to be
Baby, I know I could be all you need
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Why? Oh, why?
Tell me, why not me?
Why? Oh, why?
We were meant to be
Baby, I know I could be all you need
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
I wanna love you
If you only knew how much I love you
So, why not me?
