The Black Belles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feeling so lonely every day
What can I do to make you realize
That I really want you hear today
All I was complain
And worry about the things that ain't even there
You may find it funny, that I
I couldn't make you feel it every day
Hey
Yeah I am sorry, that I
I wasn't able to make you stay, hey
Just make you happy, but I
I couldn't make you feel it every day
Hey
