Dying For You
Otto Knows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That must mean you've been pretending now for a while
To me you don't have to keep hiding away who you are
Remember how we said together we will go far
Summer nights, side by side
Oh I know you remember how we laughed until we cried
So when you're down and out from your troubled life
When all you have is doubt, know that I'm around
I will be dying for you, dying for you
So when you're down and out from your troubled life
I will be dying for you, dying for you
When all you have is doubt, know that I'm around
I will be dying for you, dying for you
Dying for you, dying for you, oh I'll be dying for you
You kept on changing your colors to be someone else
But you know some things should never, ever be changed
Summer nights, side by side
Oh I know you remember how we laughed until we cried
So when you're down and out from your troubled life
I will be dying for you, dying for you
When all you have is doubt, know that I'm around
I will be dying for you, dying for you
So when you're down and out from your troubled life
I will be dying for you, dying for you
When all you have is doubt, know that I'm around
I will be dying for you, dying for you
(I will be dying for you)
I will be dying for you, dying for you, dying for you
I will be dying for you, dying for you
I will be dying for you

LINDSEY STIRLING. Such a role model for all the people which were told being to bad for what they love <3
@mustang03282chris
+Je suis Parte Exactly my daughter had just about given up on her dreams after she went to try out for the x-factor and found out the whole thing was a scam then we went to a Lindsey Stirling concert and she got to talk to Lindsey before the show and now she is back on the path to chasing her dreams and now won't let anything get in her way
@JesuisParte
mustang03282Ā Yeah that's exactly what I am talking about. Never give up. There will be times when you lay down but that is life. Important is not how often you can hit but how often you can get hit and stand up and believe in your dreams.
