Not Now
Diafanes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see loneliness by your side
Always carrying it on
Always facing and falling down
Girl, you've got to wait
Yet, it is too early
You know you can
Why should I face?
Why do I fear?
Why should I trust
That someday it will be?
He does care
But he doesn't seem to
I can't stand to see
Always the same shit
