Berlin Mitte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sticks on the lungs beside her
she knows i'm dying in the battlefield
I once was known for being the bravest fighter
but now I know this is my first defeat
(yeah yeah yeah)
it's not over, it's not too late
but it's beating,
it's cruel and it's killing me
love is a battlefield
(yeah yeah yeah)
we watched the dreams turn into wishful thinking
Along the road to my insanity
I call it cure you call it manic thinking
is this the reason for my mad disease
(yeah yeah yeah)
it's not over, it's not too late
I won't give up till I suffocate
but it's beating,
it's cruel and it's killing me
(yeah yeah yeah)
love is a battlefield
(yeah yeah yeah)
(yeah yeah yeah)
it's not over, it's not too late
I won't give up till I suffocate
but it's beating,
it's cruel and it's killing me
it's not over, it's not too late
i won't give up till i suffocate
but it's beating,
it's cruel and it's killing me
love is a battlefield
it's not over, it's not too late
i won't give up till I suffocate
but it's beating
it's cruel and it's killing me
