If I
Jen Korte & The Loss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Em contraste à sua mente
A minha sofre e apodrece
Eu queimo enquanto me sufoco
Estou em uma gaiola
Clamando por libertação
E aqui me machuco
Deixo a consciência ser meu castigo, o que eu mereço por vir
If I should die for you I will do, willingly
May the Lord bring you peace
and love eternally
If I should die for you I would do, willingly
May the Lord bring you peace
and love eternally
