Reminiscence
(Verse 1)

What did you do to me?
Trapping me in my dream...
Everything I do I still feel you....
Oh baby can't you see
I'm love with a fantasy

(Pre)
Why can't I try to make myself.... (forget about you)2
Try to make yourself just leave me alone....

Why can't I try to stop myself....(Dreaming about you)2
Try to make yourself just leave me alone....

(Chrous)
I lost my mind .....when I laying without you
Reminiscencing about you

I lost my mind..... illusion in my heart... tear me apart without you

(I lost my mind.....harrrrrrr Reminiscencing about you) 2

My heart goes......Drr damm damp ....
I'm so damb...dam dammm dam ....

(Music)
My heart goes.....(Dar Darr Dam Dam)
I'm so (Dar Darr Dam Dam)

(Vers 2)

I really just want you to know
Sometimes I feel all alone
Wasting my time on my own
I feel so cold

I really just want you to know
Sometimes I feel all alone
Time just goes by on its own
Im losing control

(Pre)

(Chrous)
