Lyrics
Verse 1
So I take you off your pedestal
And bring you down to earth
I thought you were from outer space
Now I've realized my worth.
Nothing’s ever brighter than the image that I drew
Take away my expectations
And all my thoughts of you
Pre-chorus
You’re a stranger to me now
Figured out what it’s about
Now I’m out of mind and out of view
You sought your glory now
Moving on with life somehow
Forgetting you were one of two
Chorus
لا على بالي
تنساني
وتمحي ماضينا
لا ولا بخيالي
أنسى حالي
أنا أبدا
Verse 2
They only fight for you when it’s good for them
Let you live your fantasy
I put my trust in you
Now got no reason to
Made a fighter outta me.
I knew the city lights and these city streets
Before it was you and me
I’ll wander through the ash you left
And see myself in clarity
Pre-chorus
You’re a stranger to me now
Figured out what it’s about
Now I’m out of mind and out of view
You sought your glory now
Moving on with life somehow
Forgetting you were one of two
Chorus
لا على بالي
تنساني
و تركت الهوى
آه
استوى قلبي
طلعت من بالي
عقلي استوى
