Lyrics
You saidyou'dbe there forme - Close upof Jasminesface
In timesof trouble whenIneedyouand I'm down - Jas singinglyricslookingintocamera
Andlikewiseyouneedfriendship - camera focuson face
It's frommy side pure love butI see latelythingshave been changing - Zoomingoutslowly
You have goalsto achieve
But the roads youtake abroad are heartless
That wantsyou make anotherway
You throwstones
Can yousee that I am humanI am breathing
But youdon't give a damn
Can youfeel myheartis beating heart beat– videoeffectpulsingwithbeat
Can yousee the painyou're causing
Can youfeel myheartis beating - Jas runningthroughforest
Can yousee the painyou're causing
Andnowthe worldisasleep - Jasstarts dancing(contemporaryroutine)
How will youeverwake herupwhenshe isdeepinherdreams,wishing
Andyetso many die

It's all aboutyou
You soldyoursoul to the evil andthe lust
and the passionandthe moneyand you - close upon face deepbreathin
