All I can give you
Before you close that door behind you
And leave me here all alone
There is something I wanna tell you
Something that you ought to know
If what you want to live is a big lie
Of flashy cars and jewellery
And start building castles in the sky
This is the reality:
I am not gonna try to stop you
If you want to go with him
I just wish you could realise you'll
Never find somebody like me
And leave me here all alone
There is something I wanna tell you
Something that you ought to know
If what you want to live is a big lie
Of flashy cars and jewellery
And start building castles in the sky
This is the reality:
All I can give you is my love
I'm sorry if that's not enough
To me you're more precious than diamonds
My heart won't just let it go
I am not gonna try to stop you
If you want to go with him
I just wish you could realise you'll
Never find somebody like me
All I can give you is my love
I'm sorry if that's not enough
To me you're more precious than diamonds
My heart won't just let it go

The one I let go
We were having a few drinks that night
And we were enjoying such a splendid time
One thing led to another, she said
˝Come on, love, Why don't you take me home?˝
We went back to mine, she slipped into my bed
And in a moment she was giving me all she had
We spent the night sharing each other's love
But the very next morning she was gone...because
No need to tell me now it was all my fault
And I'm aware that I can't change my lot
I had a shining star, I let it fall
And now I'm here on my own...because
And we were enjoying such a splendid time
One thing led to another, she said
˝Come on, love, Why don't you take me home?˝
We went back to mine, she slipped into my bed
And in a moment she was giving me all she had
We spent the night sharing each other's love
But the very next morning she was gone...because
She's the one I let go
Oh what a fool I've been
She's the one I let go
Oh Lord how stupid I've been
No need to tell me now it was all my fault
And I'm aware that I can't change my lot
I had a shining star, I let it fall
And now I'm here on my own...because
She's the one I let go
Oh what a fool I've been
She's the one I let go
Oh Lord how stupid I've been

She fades away (like the sun)
Cold sweat when she's in front of me
I can't, just cannot find the words
If she knew what she means to me
I would not feel like a worm
I don't know what to say
She fades away like the sun
To become the brightest of the stars
She wheels high in the sky
Next to the moon in the night
Bright eyes are piercing through my heart
A sign could be enough for me
Coz I, I just can't speak my mind
Does she, does she wanna stay with me?
But now it's just too late
She fades away like the sun
To become the brightest of the stars
She wheels high in the sky
Next to the moon in the night
Will she ever come back?
Will she ever understand?
I wanna be with her
I wanna be with her
She fades away like the sun
To become the brightest of the stars
She wheels high in the sky
Next to the moon in the night
She fades away like the sun
She fades away like the sun
She fades away like the sun

Who I am
I've been looking for a place to rest my soul
Show it to me 'cause I feel I'm losing control
Tell me who I am
Just a little hostage in somebody's hands
It’s alright, no,
It don’t feel right, no,
It don’t feel right
It’s been so long since somebody gave me a hand
I’ve been trying to do all the things by myself
Tell me who I am
Just a little hostage in somebody's hands
It’s alright, no,
It don’t feel right, no,
It don’t feel right
Tell me who I am
Just a little hostage in somebody's hands
It’s alright, no,
It don’t feel right, no,
It don’t feel right
Everybody’s bringing me down (4x)
