Yeah, you turned me on
Felt like I was born
Into a new life but now I am on my own
It`s been a wild time
Didn`t see the sunshine
Now I just like to be on my own
Think I`ve been blinded
Didn`t realize me behind
Your game changed my feelings
And gave me new wings
Like a bird I was sailing
Through the waves I felt save
In your lovely arms
But I didn`t believe
What I got to give
For this emotional flight
You tried to shine on your light
On me made me blind
My head I couldn`t find my soul
Yeah, it`s been a nice dream
Didn`t wake up and I seem
Loosing my mind left all of my life behind
Couldn`t see clearly
Knocked out my brain nearly
