My Brothers And I Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I see your name light up my phone
Sending shivers up and down my bones
I try to put it down so I don't feel alone
Cause in my heart I know that this won't last long

And you may be doin just fine
Playin these games all the time
But baby I want more, than this

Wish I could leave you behind
If my heart wasn't on fire
Baby I want your, love

My heart, won't let me forget you
My heart, won't let me forget you
My heart, won't let me forget you
My heart, my heart

Now that all this time has come and gone
Wanna put all this behind me, can I just move on?
You've been on my mind for way too long
Don't wanna remember all that you've put on

And you may be doin just fine
Playin these games all the time
But baby I want more, than this

Wish you would give it a try
But your heart wasn't on fire
Baby I want your, love

My heart, won't let me forget you
My heart, won't let me forget you
My heart, won't let me forget you
My heart, my heart

My heart, my heart oooh
My heart, my heart oooh
My heart, my heart oooh
My heart, my heart

My heart, won't let me forget you
My heart, won't let me forget you

My heart, won't let me forget you
My heart, my heart
