Lyrics of One More Day

After the day I met you there I am not the same
I try to sleep but nothing helps me feel insane
Passion game that I play gonna last another day
Another night I’ll be there in my dreams again and again

Refrain:
I wanna give it on fire
Uncover vicious desire
Abandon painful denial
Find every reason to stay

Another forbidden sensation
Another emotional flare
Down with the fake hesitation
Gee, yeah, – I am ready to pay
Pay for the hopeless despair
Gonna live one more day of my fate

Here I am standing with my determination, (I) remember when I used to be one of those silly fellows kind of “really don’t care”; and I realized all my thoughts and all my fears (around me); you wanted to know what I felt and you got it right there.
Turn around, all the words of regrets and seize the chance to find the way so I can be raised.
I am lame, psycho from the brain, there is nothing I can do, that ‘s the part of the game.

Out of such foolish state gonna’ find no other way.

Make way cause it’s all about the shame.

Feel no shame, cause I live another day again;

I wanna give it on fire
Uncover vicious desire
Abandon painful denial
Find every reason to stay
Another forbidden sensation
One more emotional flare
Down with the fake hesitation
Hell, yeah, – I am ready to pay
Pay for the hopeless desire
Turn back in the days when you desired and craved and all the way you felt just like burned in the flame
Gonna live one more day of my fate
