I Live
Dr. No feat. Karolina Kozak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I saw you and her talking,
Something deep down in my soul said, "Cry Girl",
When I saw you and that girl, walking out.
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy,
Than to see you, walk away from me Chile.
Ooh So you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby,
I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kisses and your warm embrace, yeah,
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now baby,
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah.
And baby, baby, I would rather be blind boy
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now
The lyrics to Dr. No feat. Karolina Kozak's song "I Live in 2-3" are about heartbreak and the intense pain of losing someone you love.

The second verse reveals that the singer is reminiscing about the good times they shared, thinking of his kisses and warm embrace. However, when she sees her own reflection in a glass, she recognizes the tears streaming down her face. The pain of the breakup is overwhelming and she would rather be blind than watch him walk away.
The lyrics of this song are incredibly emotional and powerful, conveying the intense feelings of heartbreak and loss.
