Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it a lie if I believed?
I'm helpeless when you say that I just broke your heart
And nothing can repair what I have done
And I wont shoot if you just leave, I know
No I won't tie the rope if you just go
It's suicidal, if not the end
But all I want is you uhm uhm, yeah you
It's carzy but it's true uhm uhm, yeah you
Cause all I want is you...
I held my breath until I nearly drowned
I held my words till nothing could come out
The greed I had for you left me tired love
But help is on it's way if all I did was hope
But all I want is you uhm uhm, I do
It's carzy but it's true uhm uhm, yeah you
Cause all I want is you, I do
It's carzy but it's true I love, I love you
So I won't go- if you will stay
And I won't stay, if you go away

Melodien er helt fantastisk flot. Flot opbygning, flot indlevelse og tilstedeværelse i sangen fra Dictes side, og da den går over i: "But all I want is you", er jeg solgt. Lad os få mere fra Dictes side i den kaliber.
