Night & Day
Leon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wasted days and wasted nights
I have left for you behind
For you don't belong to me
You heart belongs to someone else

Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you're not true
And why should I call your name
When you're to blame for making me blue

Don't you remember the day
That you went away and left me
I was so lonely
Prayed for you only, my love

Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you're not true




And why should I call your name
When you're to blame for making me blue
