Elli Kokkinou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Και για τα λάθη μετανιώνεις
Να δείξεις θέλεις πως είσαι θύμα
Σε μια αγάπη που σκοτώνεις
Έχω ευαίσθητη καρδιά γι'αυτό σ'αφήνω
Στη λογική του παραλόγου δε θα μείνω
Έχω φιλότιμο κι εσύ μου το πατάς
Τώρα που νιώθεις ότι με χάνεις
Τις αναμνήσεις ξεκλειδώνεις
Θες να με πείσεις μα στην ουσία
Εσύ το όνειρο τελειώνεις
Έχω ευαίσθητη καρδιά γι'αυτό σ'αφήνω
Στη λογική του παραλόγου δε θα μείνω
Έχω φιλότιμο κι εσύ μου το πατάς
Έχω ευαίσθητη καρδιά και με πονάς

She also feels disrespected by her partner not valuing her ambition. The chorus repeats the sentiment of the singer having a sensitive heart that gets hurt by her partner, who tries to convince her that they can still make it work but ultimately ends the relationship.
