Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right, but not right now

Echo the hook

Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try and turn the tables?
I wish you'd unclench your fists

you'rerightknow
