Lyrics[]

I’ve carried sadness with me
I hid it well since sixteen
And all the crying, all the fighting
It kept putting out the fire
That burned so bright within me

As I look back to all those years
To broken dreams disguising fear
Being someone that I’m really not

Just stay with me
My heart is bleeding
I need your healing

Wait for me
Well, it ain’t easy
To love someone like me

Čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto
Finally my heart is beating
Čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto
Finally my heart is beating

I took it all on myself
I asked for nobody’s help
Had to taste it and embrace it
All the bitterness of failure
To find myself within me

Just stay with me
My heart is bleeding
I need your healing
Wait for me
Well, it ain’t easy
To love someone like me

Čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto
Finally my heart is beating
Čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto
Finally my heart is beating

Just stаy

Just stay

Čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto
Čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto, čiūto tūto
