Lyrics

Why I should feel this way?

Why I should feel this way?

Why I should feel the same?

Is something I cannot say

Is something I cannot say

Is something I can't explain

I feel you

Outside at the edge of my life

I see you

Walk by at the edge of my sight

Why I should follow my heart?

Why I should follow my heart?

Why I should fall apart?

Why I should follow my dreams?

Why I should follow my dreams?

Why I should be at peace?

I feel you

Outside at the edge of my life

I see you

Walk by at the edge of my sight

I had to let you go

To the setting sun

I had to let you go

And find a way back home

(When I dream all I see is you

When I dream all I see is)

I've never seen a light that's so bright

I've never seen a light that's so bright

I've never seen a light that's so bright

Blinded by the light that's inside

Blinded by the light that's inside

Blinded by the light that's inside you

Neden böyle hissetmeliyim?

Neden böyle hissetmeliyim?

Neden aynı şekilde hissetmeliyim?

Söyleyemediğim bir şey

Söyleyemediğim bir şey

Açıklayamadığım bir şey

Seni hissediyorum

Hayatımın ucunda, dışarıda

Seni görüyorum

Görüş alanımın ucundan yürüyerek geçiyorsun

Neden kalbimi takip etmeliyim?

Neden kalbimi takip etmeliyim?

Neden parçalanmalıyım?

Neden hayallerimi takip etmeliyim?

Neden hayallerimi takip etmeliyim?

Neden huzur içinde olmalıyım?

Seni hissediyorum

Hayatımın ucunda, dışarıda

Seni görüyorum

Görüş alanımın ucundan yürüyerek geçiyorsun

Seni bırakmak zorundaydım

Batan güneşe

Seni bırakmak zorundaydım

Ve eve geri dönmenin bir yolunu bulmak için

(Rüya gördüğümde gördüğüm tek şey sensin

Rüya gördüğümde gördüğüm tek şey)

Hiç bu kadar parlak bir ışık görmedim

Hiç bu kadar parlak bir ışık görmedim

Hiç bu kadar parlak bir ışık görmedim

İçindeki ışığa gözlerim kamaştı

İçindeki ışığa gözlerim kamaştı

İçindeki ışığa gözlerim kamaştı
