Smitten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Algo inesperado, no entiendo qué pasó
Yo sé que la vida tiene cosas extrañas
Que algunas son buenas y otras son malas
Puede pasar, suele pasar, no sé si estoy bien
No sé si estoy mal, pero sé que en mi mente puedo confiar
Puedo confiar, tengo algo guardadoAquí dentro de mí, un amor enjaulado
Esperando por ti, yo sé que la vida
Aveces te golpea y no hay que perder de ninguna manera
Tu amor, la ilusión
