The Way That You See
Monostrat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't see myself
See me without you
And I don't wanna think
Think that it's gonna end
Come on over now
I wanna see you
Just come on over now
I don't wanna loose you
So can you see yourself?
The way that I see





Cause I can't see myself
The way that you see
