Little Do You Know
Alex & Sierra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little do you know
How I'm breaking while you fall asleep
Little do you know
I'm still haunted by the memories
Little do you know
I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece
Little do you know
I need a little more time
Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole inside
I've been holding back
For the fear that you might change your mind
I'm ready to forgive you, but forgetting is a harder fight
Little do you know
I need a little more time

I'll wait, I'll wait
I love you like you've never felt the pain, I'll wait
I promise, you don't have to be afraid, I'll wait
Love is here, and here to stay
So lay your head on me
Little do you know
I know you're hurt while I'm sound asleep
Little do you know
All my mistakes are slowly drowning me
Little do you know
I'm trying to make it better piece by piece
Little do you know
I, I love you 'til the sun dies

I'll wait, just wait
I love you like I've never felt the pain, just wait
I love you like I've never been afraid, just wait
Our love is here, and here to stay
So lay your head on me

I'll wait (I'll wait), I'll wait (I'll wait)
I love you like you've never felt the pain, I'll wait (I'll wait)
I promise you don't have to be afraid, I'll wait
Love is here, and here to stay
So lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
So lay your head on me




'Cause little do you know
I love you 'til the sun dies

I had lost my 16 year old daughter to terminal brain cancer a few years ago. She loved Alex and Siera.
Today shes dancing away with the Angel's in the heavens above to your music. Thank you for being her comfort and support during her final days.
God bless and may you touch others. Thank you!

 if they ever break up..... my life will be ended. This is beautiful in every single way.

Yes

@d4c155

That's how I felt about Kalel Cullen and Anthony Padilla. Let's just say that my life ended because they broke off their 4 year relationship a month ago.
