Were We Living In a Lie ?
Anne Sila Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk alone this empty night
They say I'm going to be alright
But I can't be
I wash the sacred in your eyes
I want to find a way to fight
But I can't see
Were we living in a lie?
'Cause I know that I'm lost
Were we living in a lie again?
Were we living in a lie?
'Cause I know that I'm lost
Were we living in a lie again?
Were we living in a lie?




'Cause I know that I'm lost
Were we living in a lie again?
