Desire
Gyze Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

silent night, you leave no choice
you went out without saying a word
i don't know what to do
i can't stand and forget

i've thought about you since then
but i don't know what you want to do
i have screamed until i've lost my voice
if the pain goes on i'll die

why was i born?
(would you tell me?)
was i born to die?
(was i born to love?)

god knows why i was born

no matter what i said
(you never smiled)
i didn't know what to do

the pain disappeard
as time went by
but you are not here yet
i can't turn backnow

the pain disappeared
as time went by
but you are not here yet
i can't turn back now

the pain disappeared
as time went by
but you are not here yet
i can't turn back now

the pain
desire

why was i born?
(would you tell me?)




was i born to die?
(was i born to love?)
