Leya
Thorsteinn Einarsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There goes a girl with bigger dreams and purple hair
And tears to sky flies with a plane into nowhere
Her family starring up her sister jells oh god what are you doin'
Her mother cries her father says whats wrong with her
And baby brother in the bed wakes up in tears
That's when she runs away nobody thats around can understand her
Leya, Leya, I know one day you'll be a superstar
A new appartement smells like cigarettes and beer
And she cant sleep at night but lights in to much fear
That's when she's mad at man she thought that he was just a right companion
The time goes by she realizes she sold her heart
To baby girls and without drugs she's on apart
Steps on an edge looks down and suddenly she hears her mother calling
She's calling
Leya, Leya, your dreams are bigger than your broken heart
Leya, Leya, i know one day you'll be a superstar
Uah uuuh, uah uuuh
Your dreams are bigger than your broken heart.
Uah uh, uah uh
It's ok you read my heart, Leya
I give it all for you
Step down turn around keep it tune up news that frown
Since all you to say i didn't die today
Leya, Leya, your dreams are bigger than your broken heart
Leya, Leya, i know one day you'll be a superstar
Uah uh, uah uh
Your dreams are bigger than your broken heart.
Uah uh, uah uh
Your dreams are bigger than your broken heart.
