I Still Believe
Sylvan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deep in my soul - fertile in sentiments –
Gaining control, still subdued and hesitant
Thinking of peace for me, hoping my doubts might fade –
This is no game, I can't wait till it's much too late

I still believe, still keep our past alive
Just honesty or extraordinary lies ?
Deep in my mind raising continuously,
Just fate might decide: future or history
Claiming to care for you, wondering if love can die – fooling myself, don't I ?
Or is it worth to fight ?

I still believe, still keep our past alive
Just honesty or extraordinary lies ?





I'm faking dreams - incessantly
It's build on lies - or justified ?
