Who Do You Think You Are
Cascada (1) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When all I have tried was just in vain
Is it worth the fight I couldn't start believing
That those feelings who died could face the pain
I don't need no diamond rings, alibis no more
[Chorus]
Cause once again you broke my heart
I know that love went just to far
Its hard to catch a falling star
But now I finally realize,
Your a brown eyed angel in disguise
Just one step too far so tell me honestly
Who do you think you are?
You and I were on our way together
But this life passed by, these days are gone
All the tears I've cried they thought me nothing lasts forever
I been blind for just too long
Cause I don't need no diamond rings,alibis no more
[Chorus]
Who do you think you are?
