Leaving
L’âme immortelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unfold your heart and let me see
The pain you bear, because of me
I´m innocent but broke your heart
Destroyed your dreams, ripped them apart

Ask gods above, and gods below
To tell you why I have to go
Have I deserved this punishment
Please guide me to understand

Ask gods above, and gods below
Why my life will stop its flow
The gods deserved this punishment
To guide you to understand

Unfold your heart and let me see
The pain you bear, because of me




I´m innocent but broke your heart
Destroyed your dreams, ripped them away
