Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Att du betyder allt för mig
Men nu har livet bytt frekvens
Och jag kan inte glömma dig
Ref.
Hur kan man älska någon så
Hur kan man glömma bara gåHur skall jag klara mig
Hur blir det utan dig
Säg hur kan man älska någon så..
Kanske finns de inga svar
Och din dörr har dubbla lås
Men den feber som jag har
Den får mig nästan att förgås
Ref.
Hur kan man älska någon så
Hur kan man glömma bara gå
Hur skall jag klara mig
Hur blir det utan dig
Säg hur kan man älska någon så..
Kanske finner jag ett spår
Ett spår som leder vägen hem
Men min resa blir nog svår
Till en annan kärlek gör mig hel igen
Ref.
Hur kan man älska någon så
Hur kan man glömma bara gå
Hur skall jag klara mig
Hur blir det utan digSäg hur kan man älska någon så..
Ja, säg hur kan man älska någon så..
