Willow
YADi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what would I do with your heart?
Take it like a toy apart?
Tell me what would you say if I asked,
Why do you love me? Why do you love me?

Is it because I held you too long?
Felt sorry 'cause I knew it was wrong?
All I said were the words that come,
Lover to lover, ooh lover to lover.

You know the world is like a stone
You know the stars are fire
Why did you try to love alone?
Why did you make me fight?

Willow, willow, weep for me and let me go,
Willow, willow, weep for me and let me go.

Tell me how far you'd go to be mine?
Dance for me? Write names in the skies?
Jump hoops while I set them alight?
Prove that you love me, prove that you love me.

Is it because you waited to long?
Felt power I could do you no wrong?
All I did was turn you on,
Lover to lover, ooh lover to lover.

You know the world is like a stone
You know the stars are fire
Why did you try to love alone?
Why did you make me fight?

Willow, willow, weep for me and let me go,
Willow, willow, weep for me and let me go.

Beg me, beg me, like I lover I will lie.
Forget me, and bury every image of me in your mind
Oh woah oh-oh, oh woah oh-oh, oh woah oh-ah

You know the world is like a stone
You know the stars are fire
Why did you try to love alone?
Why did you make me fight?





Willow, willow, weep for me and let me go,
Willow, willow, weep for me and let me go.
