Aldaraia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How did we get here?
You let the sadness rule your mind.
I simply let it happen as you search for peace you can't find
Wait, there must be more than this
Wait, don't leave me here, like this
How could you be so wrong?
Did impatience overtake you
you just couldn't wait so long?
Wait, there must be more than this
Wait, don't leave me here, like this
Wait, there must be more than this
Wait, don't leave me here, like this
