Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • We were born to die
  • Lost, but now I am found
  • I can see that once I was blind
  • I was so confused as a little child

Echo the hook

  • Don't make me sad
  • Don't make me cry
  • Sometimes love is not enough
  • And the road gets tough
don'troadlast
