Perfidia
Dillon Phyllis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For I found you, the love my life
In somebody else's arms
Your eyes, are echoing Perfidia
Forgetful of the promise of love
You're shared another's charms
Are faded like a broken melody
While the Gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools, we mortals be
And now, I know my love was not for you
And so I'll take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's one goodbye
Sock to me, baby
With a sad lament my dreams
Have faded like a broken melody
While the Gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools, we mortals be
And now, I know my love was not for you
And so I'll take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's one goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
