Time, it needs time to win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love can bring back your love someday
Fight, babe, I'll fight to win back your love again
Love, only love can bring down the wall someday
If we'd go again all the way from the start
I would try to change things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall so strong that I can't get through
Is there really no chance to start once again?
I'm loving you
Try, baby, try to trust in my love again
Love, our love, shouldn't be thrown away
Yes, I've hurt your pride and I know what you've been through
You should give me a chance, this can't be the end
I'm still loving you
✨ Una canción perfecta para hablar del amor, el orgullo y las segundas oportunidades.
