Be With You
Anna Abreu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know how I feel
What is going on
I had it all, I was sure
But you mess me up
You made me lie
You made me cry
You made me breath again
And i wanna be with you

I just wanna be with you

And I know what we had
And once that we loved
But I don't care
And I know that is wrong to feel this way
But i don't care
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you
Be with you

When we live this life
We just pretend
Like everything's are right
I guess it shows
I guess they know
That there is something wrong
But I'm afraid
That you're more bold
So would you help me please
Cause I wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you

And I know what we had
And once that we loved
But I don't care
And I know that is wrong to feel this way
But I don't care
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you
Be with you
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you
Be with you

(I just wanna be with you)
(I just wanna be with you)
(I just wanna be with you)

And I know what we had
And once that we loved
But I don't care
And I know that is wrong to feel this way

But I don't care
I just wanna be with you
