Unfinished Sympathy
Anakelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that I've been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me baby, really hurt me baby
How can have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more
The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me baby, really hurt me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more
Like a soul without a mind




In a body without a heart
I'm missing every part
