Sway
Maite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't call me love
I'm getting tired of this sway
Can't keep living this way
I'm still learning how to see
Who am i supposed to be?

I'm trying hard but can't get you out of my head
Wanna see you but it's easier to forget
Want you closer but stay farther
I know I'm the one that's broken and
Left you with a heart swollen and ran
But it was for my sake

Time passes my love
You still killing my mind
I'm still walking the line
I can't let you
You broke me without a warning
Now I'm completely hopeless
I can't let you go

How often do you think of me
Do you write about who I used to be?
Does your friends know that I tend to leave from you?
You were an instant full of anger
And tought it was eternal
Leaving me a dry winter
Burning with your touch

I'm trying hard but can't get you out of my head
I wanna see you but it's easier to forget
Want you closer but stay farther
I know I'm the one that's broken and
Left you with a heart swollen and ran
But it was for my sake

Time's running my love
You still killing my mind
I'm still walking the line
I can't let you
You broke me without a warning
Now I'm completely hopeless
I can't let you go

I think that nobody actually leaves




I can't let you go
Please let me go
