Lyrics

[Verse 1]
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
[Verse 2]
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
[Verse 3]
Love makes you blind
I hope to find
Who I believe in
Get back in line
I can't deny myself
Show me the feeling
Oh, you got me wrong
If you don't belong
Live in the trouble
[Verse 4]
Don't hesitate
Time heals the pain
You ain't the problem (I know)
[Verse 5]
I lived a lie
Love is the crime
It's you I believe in (I know)
No need to play myself
No need to die
I'm only human (I know)
I'm done, you got to put me on
I know when you come along
[Verse 6]
Don't hesitate
Time heals the pain
You ain't the problem
[Verse 7]
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
[Verse 8]
I point the gun
They shoot for fun
You are the problem
I try to help myself
You are the one
Do all the talkin'
You got me wrong
I caught you fallin'
I hear you callin'
[Verse 9]
Don't hesitate
Time heals the pain
You ain't the problem (I know)
[Verse 10]
I lived a dream
I hope to be
Who I believe in (I know)
I used to hate myself
You got the key
Break out the prison (I know)
Ah, I hope to never see time passin'
[Verse 11]
Don't hesitate
Time heals the pain
You ain't the problem
[Verse 12]
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
[Verse 13]
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
[Verse 14]
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la
