Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's more complicated than you know
I can′t seem to live this behind, I've tried
This needs to be good bye for the last time
Stay with me tonight
Wake me up inside
Paint my heart
Stay with me tonight
Paint my heart
Paint my heart
Hard as I try I can't let go
It′s more complicated than you know
I can′t seem to live this behind, I tried
This needs to be good bye for the last time
Stay with me tonight
Wake me up inside, paint my heart
Stay with me tonight
Wake me up inside my heart, paint my heart
Stay with me tonight
Wake me up inside
Paint my heart
Stay with me tonight
Wake me up inside
Paint my heart
