BFG Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amelia, why did you have to leave me?
Amelia, why didn't you believe me?
I hear your voice, your mocking words still taunt me
I hear your voice, your memory still haunts me

Believe me now, though passion clouds your virtue
Believe me now, you know that this is torture?
Amelia, I didn't meant to hurt you.
Amelia, Amelia, I love you... i love you

Love me, desire me,
Love me, desire me,
Love me, desire me,
Love me, desire me,

Walk with me, walk with me through this nightmare
Walk with me 'cause baby you know I care
Amelia, though dark dispels your vision
Amelia, please give me recognition... recognition

Love me, desire me,
Love me, desire me,
Love me, desire me,
Love me, desire me,

Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
And walk with me, to the promised land

Amelia, Amelia
Come and walk with me




I love you
Amelia see less
