Dollar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love supposed to do?
Looking for you, you were looking for me
Always reaching for you, you were too blind to see
Oh love of my heart why leave me alone?
Oh l'amour
Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love supposed to do?
Why throw it away? Why walk out on me?
I just live for the day, for the way it should be
There once was a time I had you here by my side
Said I wasn't your kind, only here for the ride
Oh l'amour
Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love supposed to do?
No emotional ties, don't remember my name
I lay down and die, I'm only to blame
Oh love of my heart, it's up to you now
You tear me apart, I hurt inside-out
Oh l'amour
Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love supposed to do?
Oh l'amour
Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love supposed to do?
Oh l'amour
Broke my heart and now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love supposed to do?

The verses further delve into his emotions and the complexities of his situation.
