Takida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A bit of hope when you look into my eyes
Follow me to the other side
You will never walk alone
I'm always by your side
Hold on tight when we fall into the night
I will guard you now and the rest of my life
It wears me out and leaves me naked, the truth is
always strong
I'm knocked down by your eyes
I think it's gonna happen
She's kind of weak she's not too fine
But I'm burning inside and I'm shaking again, heeey yeah
She's kind of weak she's not too fine
But I'm burning inside and I'm shaking again
It's colder now and you're not home
I'm all awake, thinking of my own
Feels like it's coming down
It hurts being with me
Don't walk away, can't you hear the scream
When she's gone I don't know
Please tell me if it's gonna happen?
She's kind of weak she's not too fine
But I'm burning inside and I'm shaking again, hey hey hey yeah!
She's kind of weak she's not too fine
But I'm burning inside and I'm shaking again
I'm sorry now, I'll make it up somehow
Hurt me with something more and more and more and more!
She's kind of weak, but I'm burning inside, heeey yeah
She's kind of weak she's not too fine
But I'm burning inside and I'm shaking again

It's alright now when you're here
I feel calm and at ease when you are with me
A bit of hope when you look into my eyes

I promise to always protect you and keep you safe
But there's one bitter lie, how I did you wrong
I have betrayed you and it haunts me

I'm knocked down by your eyes
I am entranced by your gaze

She is vulnerable and going through hardship
But I'm burning inside and I'm shaking again, heeey yeah

It's colder now and you're not home

I feel overwhelmed and like everything is crashing down on me
It hurts being with me
I am aware that I cause pain and hurt to those around me
Don't walk away, can't you hear the scream
Please don't leave me, I am begging for your help
When she's gone I don't know
Without her, I am lost and unsure
Please tell me if it's gonna happen?
Can you give me reassurance about what is going to occur?
I'm sorry now, I'll make it up somehow
I apologize for my mistakes and vow to make amends
Hurt me with something more and more and more and more!
I deserve to be punished for my past wrongs and am willing to endure more pain
