Dead end love
Dewi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What happened to the smile on your face?
What happened to the plans we made, long ago?
Where is the love we used to make?
Why did we let it go this far? Tell me why

Walking round and round in circles
I guess we've been here before
So let me know, I got to know or I'll be gone

Give me a reason for me to believe in you and me
Have a crashed and burned beyond return
Give me a reason for me to believe, can't you see
We have crashed and burned..
Dead-end love

You talk to me as if I wasn't there
Am I invisible to you? or don't you care?
I'm feeling like a ghost when I'm with you
I was the dream that you once had, long ago

Walking round and round in circles
I guess we've been here before
So let me know, I got to know or I'll be gone

Give me a reason for me to believe in you and me
Have a crashed and burned beyond return
Give me a reason for me to believe, can't you see
We have crashed and burned..
Dead-end love





What happened to the smile up on your face?
Where is the love we used to make?
