The Expressions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello sunshine it’s been a long long time
To see your face I feel so humble you love me
You love me again
And all those memories do they mean to you what they mean to me
I feel so hopeful you love me you love me gain
I am not over you yet
Girl you are in my head I can’t forget
I am still hanging on
I am still hanging on
I am still hanging on

When we set down the look in your eyes
Was the same as mine I know I got to change it
I surely would heard about your new friend

Tell me is it true is this really
Cause I came back for me and you
I am not over you yet
Girl you are in my head I can’t forget

I am still hanging on
I am still hanging on
I am still hanging on

I am not over you yet
Girl you are in my head I can’t forget

I am still hanging on
I am still hanging on
I am still hanging on
I am still hanging on




I am still hanging on
I am still hanging on
