Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you back
I want you to hold you in my arms
Don't make me cry
Come over here and let me be
Be your star again
I'm thanking you
Come over here and let me breathe
I'm thanking you
Come over here and let me breathe
Breathe only you, only you
Sometimes I think that i i'm in love well that isn't true
Feeling so weird and shamed, what's going on in my head
Shame on myself cause I can't get out of my head
I want you back
I want hold you in my arms
Don't make me cry
Come over here and let me be
Be your star again
A lonely night without
You are crushing my heart
Feeling so weird and shamed what going on in my heart
I thought that you are gone from my heart forever
Ohhhh, i want you back
I want to hold you in my arms
Don't make me cry come over here and let me be
Be your star again
All this is a lie, lie lie




I'm still in love with you, couldn't stop thinking about you
Please, please forgive me
