Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Something's getting in the way
  • Something's just about to break
  • I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
  • So tell me how it should be

Echo the hook

  • As I burn another page
  • As I look the other way
  • I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
  • So tell me how it should be
something'sfindplace
