Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many more times must I say goodbye
To you
I've opened all the way
For you
It's always just someday
How many more times must I try
For you
I'd lose mountains
And blue skies
But I can't help losing my mind for you
How many more times
I'd lose mountains
And blue skies
But I can't help losing my mind for you
How many more times
