Love and Hate
Santiago Laserna feat. Beba Cespedes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love and Hate
Being left alone is not that bad
But the hardest part is laughing when you're sad
And now I slipped into the end of history
I feel the same... I feel the same.

And people walking, people talking
Love and hate are all part of the thrill

And I saw you sitting on that windowsill
You sang a song, I sang along.

(La la la...)

I gave you all I had and now it's gone
You gave me all I needed to be strong
For what it's worth I'll always be the lucky one
The lucky one... The lucky one.

And people walking, people talking
Love and hate are all part of the thrill
And I saw you sitting on that windowsill
You sang a song, I sang along.

(La la la...)

And people walking, people talking
Love and hate are all part of the thrill
And I saw you sitting on that windowsill
You sang a song, I sang along.

(La la la...)
