Listen To My Heartbeat
TOKU Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴You said, why am i holding on baby?
Ooh
I would never back down, are you walking out of my life?
Saying you really dont love me
Ooh
Baby you don′t mean that, you remember all that we had?

I took it for granted that you loved me the same

But i, gotta keep on talking

Listen to my Heartbeat-beat-beat
Saying do you love me-me-me
But I'm lying here alone, so I put you in a song beside my Heartbeat-beat-beat

I know, I haven′t been the best lately
Ooh
And I really know now, I should give you all of my time
Yeah, you really do deserve better
Ooh
Gotta get you somehow, can we start all over again now?

I took it for granted that you loved me the same
But i, gotta keep on talking

Listen to my Heartbeat-beat-beat
Saying do you love me-me-me
But I'm lying here alone, so I put you in a song beside my Heartbeat-beat-beat

Why am I holding on baby?
I would never back down, are you walking out of my life?
Mmh

So, listen to my Heartbeat-beat-beat
Saying do you love me-me-me
(Oh, and you're saying that you love me)
But I′m lying here alone, so I put you in a song beside my Heartbeat-beat-beat

Saying do you love me-me-me
But I′m lying here alone, so I put you in a song beside my Heartbeat-beat-beat
