Only You
CHROM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna lose myself in you
I try to keep the courage
I try to separate the truth
It′s not always my fault
Come on forget about your pride
If you don't the world could be cold
All I ever waited for
Was the chance to reach your door
All I wanted you to do
Say these words
Only you
Now I′m lying on the floor
Sad and lonely more and more
That′s the way that I had to choose
Say these words
Only you
I wish that I could leave you
I wish that I could give a sign
My eyes were closed and blinded
I've been wrong that I could make you mine
The sanity is fading
Look in my heart that you destroyed
All the time I′ve been waiting
For the moment I go paranoid
All I ever waited for
Was the chance to reach your door
All I wanted you to do
Say these words
Only you
Now I'm lying on the floor
Sad and lonely more and more
That′s the way that I had to choose
Say these words
