I Don't Wanna Loose You
I-Ten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's life in this old timer yet
Looking back there's a new reflection
Now I know what you give is what you get
In the end it's all or nothing
And I feel I'm ready now
So I try to be the answer
Now I bet that your ears are burning
With three words on the tip of my tongue
I just hope that your heart is open
So that I can undo what I've done
In the end it's all or nothing
And I feel I'm ready now
So I try to be the answer
‘Cause I don't wanna lose you again
Like a star, it's so hard to reach you
Not enough just to call you a friend
And I know that I don't deserve you
But I don't wanna lose you again, oh
In the end it's all or nothing
And I feel I'm ready now
So I try to be the answer
‘Cause I don't wanna lose you again
No, I don't wanna lose you again
