Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I gave my soul
To the things that you admired
I caught it
As it came through
Let you be my saviour
Kept it to give you back
Back-to-back
With you
[PreChorus]
And the heartbeat of the city
In the shadows, I made my home
[Chorus]
I've been changing
And mamma don't know
Let her tears fall
And make the flowers grow
I am changing
Now daddy can see
His reflection
In the mirror of me
[Verse 2]
Should I regret
These dangerous feeling?
But I was born
To feel alone
Without your love
I'm just a stranger
A wilful child
You can't control
[PreChorus]
And the heartbeat of the city
In the shadows, I made my home
[Chorus]
I've been changing
And mamma don't know
Let her tears fall
And make the flowers grow
I am changing
Now daddy can see
His reflection
In the mirror of me
[Bridge]
Back-to-back
With the spirit holy
Imitated you for you to be
[Chorus]
I've been changing
And mamma don't know
Let her tears fall
And make the flowers grow
I am changing
Now daddy can see
His reflection
In the mirror of me
