When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.
Psycho
Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Desse amor
Não suporto essa dor
Diz pra mim
Que não é o fim
Só você
Que eu amei
Só você é tudo pra mim
Se eu te fiz
Chorar
Sem querer magoar
Te fiz sofrer
Não me deixe assim
Eu não dei valor a tudo
Que eu vivi com você
Fui um bobo te enganei
Só agora eu posso ver
Minha vida sem você
Já não tem sentido algum
Volta vem me traz a paz
Minha vida sem você
Não tem sentido algum
Não dá
Não vale a pena
Minha vida sem você
