Miss Platnum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have to tell you that we're at an end
And I don't know why I'm cryin'
'Cause it's been my own decision
But there's no more lying to you and to myself
If you want to go
I won't
Since the day I know
And I'm sure we're on the wrong track
If you want to go
I won't
I don't hold you back
Since the day I know
And I'm sure we won't get it back
Tell me where oh where do we go from here
My heart almost stops
And I'm full of fear
It is my turn now to tell you the truth
You said that the facing me as ???
And I don't know why I'm lying
Once so sure of my decision
Now I'm just crying on your shoulder again
If you want to go
I won't
I don't hold you back
Since the day I know
And I'm sure we're on the wrong track
If you want to go
I won't
I don't hold you back
Since the day I know
And I'm sure we won't get it back
Tell me where oh where do we go from here
My heart almost stops
And I'm full of fear
