Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • When I'm wiser and I'm older
  • All this time, I was finding myself, and I
  • Didn't know I was lost
  • So wake me up when it's all over

Echo the hook

  • I didn't know I was lost
  • I didn't know I was lost
  • I didn't know I was lost
  • I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
knowdidn'tlost
