Reasons Behind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
childish dream of love.
Anomalous heartbeat when I saw you for the first time.
My world behind your eyes...
Deciding for future
that night when your lips had already been on mine
Your breath on my skin...
Choice for life
You won't be with me anymore.
Together or not, just anxiety in me...
So much pain in my heart,
hot tears sliding on my cheek.
Anomalous heartbeat when I saw you for the first time.
My world behind your eyes...
Deciding for future
that night when your lips had already been on mine
Your breath on my skin...
Together or not?
Choice for life
You won't be with me anymore.
Together or not, just anxiety in me...

@tripletarts Simply imagine you are confident and ignore all thoughts and feelings you have about them or about yourself. I'll make a video about that.
