Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • One thing I don't know why
  • It doesn't even matter how hard you try
  • Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
  • To explain in due time

Echo the hook

  • It all fell apart
  • What it meant to me will eventually
  • Be a memory of a time when-
  • I tried so hard and got so far
