"Hopelessly Devoted"
Better Lyrics:
but now there's nowhere to hide
since the counter got to five
I'm out of my head
i wish that i was dead
because its the first time
that i could not find somewhere to hide
it is the first time that i couldn't find somewhere to hide
Original Lyrics:
but now there's nowhere to hide
since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
hopelessly devoted to you
hopelessly devoted to you
