I, I can't get these memories out of my mind And some kind of madness has started to evolve I, I tried so hard to let you go But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah I have finally seen the light And I have finally realized What you mean Oh oh oh And now, I need to know is this real love Or is it just madness keeping us afloat? And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had Like some kind of madness Was taking control Yeah And now I have finally seen the light And I have finally realized What you need Mm And now I have finally seen the end (Finally seen the end) And I'm not expecting you to care (Expecting you to care) But I have finally seen the light (Finally seen the light) I have finally realized (Realized) I need to love I need to love Come to me, Trust in your dream Come on and rescue me Yes I have known, I can be wrong Maybe I'm too headstrong Our love is Madness
