hate to love you
Allure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nowadays things aren't always what they seem
Even in my widest dreams i couldn''t have you
Things you say always make ma go insane
Wondering if i am the blame it's a shame
You're gonna love me someday
Better make sure it's not too late
Every night i sit down and think about
Why i never had a doubt about us
But, I was wrong thinking our love was strong
Thinking we could still hold on, but it's gone (hey)
You're gonna love me someday
Better make sure it's not too late
I told you once that i really cared
And my love i want to share
But, you don't see that it's really me, I'm what you need
And I guarantee that
You're gonna love me
(Someday)
Just like I told you
(Now it's too late)




You're gonna love me someday
Better make sure it's not to late
