South China Music Troupe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What we have
And what's really meant to be
Can we get beyond
What's in our past
Without repeating history
Cause you'll always be my one and only
I keep coming back around
Doin' what other guys just can't do for me
So I'm hoping that you'll hear me now when I say
When you hurt me,
I can only take so much
And when we break up,
I'm still right here cravin' for your touch
And when we're apart,
Boy all I can think about is us
And if we're invincible...
Are we invincible?
And I know we gotta get over the past
And if we give it one more try,
Maybe this time we'll last
And if you can give me,
All the honesty that I ask
We'll be invincible... we'll be invincible
They say that what hurts,
But doesn't kill
That will only make you strong
So after all of the hurt
That I feel
Can we make we make a right from a wrong?
Cause you'll always be my one and only
No more cryin'...breakdown
I keep coming back around
Doin' what other guys just can't do for me
So I'm hoping that you'll hear me now when I say
When you hurt me,
I can only take so much
And when we break up,
I'm still right here cravin' for your touch
And when we're apart,
Boy all I can think about is us
And if we're invincible...
Are we invincible?
And I know we gotta get over the past
And if we give it one more try,
Maybe this time we'll last
And if you can give me,
All the honesty that I ask
We'll be invincible... we'll be invincible
Baby, you and I
Are everything I think of like everyday
I can't escape
And I hope that we
Can grow into a love that will never break
From my mistakes
When you hurt me,
I can only take so much
And when we break up,
I'm still right here cravin' for your touch
And when we're apart,
Boy all I can think about is us
And if we're invincible...
Are we invincible?
And I know we gotta get over the past
And if we give it one more try,
Maybe this time we'll last
And if you can give me,
All the honesty that I ask
We'll be invincible... we'll be invincible
