Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don’t know

You don’t know my heart

You don’t know

You don’t know haaa

Won’t you give me

Give me something

A reason to stay

A reason to stay

Will you take me

Just don’t brake me

Don’t give it away

Don’t give it away


True, I know it’s true

I tried to teach your heart

But I can’t deny

I know it won’t be mine


You don’t know

You don’t know my heart

You don’t know

You don’t know haaa

You don’t know

You don’t know my heart

You don’t know

You don’t know haaa


Won’t you tell me

Tell me something

Don’t fade away

Fade away

Just a moment
Let it float in

Don’t take it away

Take it away


True, I know it’s true

I tried to teach your heart

But I can’t deny

I know it won’t be mine


You don’t know

You don’t know my heart

You don’t know

You don’t know haaa

You don’t know

You don’t know my heart

You don’t know

You don’t know haaa

You don’t know

You don’t know my heart

You don’t know





You don’t know haaa
