Anyone Of Us
Nicholis Louw Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been letting you down, down
Girl I know I've been such a fool
Giving in to temptation
When I should've played it cool
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
It can happen to.
Anyone of us, anyone you think of

Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Hearts will break
'cause I made a stupid mistake
It can happen to...
Anyone of us, say you will forgive me
Anyone can fail
Say you will velieve me
I can't take my heart will break
'cause I made a stupid mistake
A stupid mistake

She was kind of exciting
A little crazy I should've known
She must have altered my senses
'cause I offered to walk her home
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand

A stupid mistake
She means nothing to me (nothing to me)

I swear every world is true
Don't wanna lose you
