The Beginning
DJ Krush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thx Sonic for lyric^^
You don't know what it's like
To be there when it's over
If love was like a battlefield
Would you put me on your shoulder
But time don't mend broken hearts
And this one's getting colder
And I feel alone and older
I know you're alone
To leave me where I'm standing
I don't wanna let you go
But in my heart now I know
That is only the beginning of the end
I don't know anymore
These days are never-ending
This love is like an open door
And I'm tired just to be tender
I know you're alone
To leave me where I'm standing
I don't wanna let you go
But in my heart now I know
That is only the beginning of the end
When I gave my heart to you
I better know what love could do
To all the pain it put me through
I don't wanna let you go
But in my heart now I know
That is only the beginning of the end
I don't wanna let you go
But in my heart now I know
That is only the beginning of the end
