NAME:

Only madmen know

(Charlie Brown Jr.)

now i know exactly what to do
Good start again, to be able to count on you
Because I remember everything, brother
I was there too
a man when he's at peace
don't want war with anyone

I held my tears
Because I didn't want to show the emotion
Since I was there just to observe
And learn a little more
about perception
They say it's impossible to find love
without losing reason
But for those who have strong thoughts
The impossible is only a matter of opinion
And that the crazy ones know
Only madmen know
That's what crazy people know
Only madmen know
All positivity I wish you

Because we need it on fighting days
Fear blinds our dreams
Fear blinds our dreams
beautiful girl, i want to live on your street
you missed
you missed
I want to see you again
I want to see you again
you missed
now i know exactly what to do
I'll start over, I can count on you
Because I remember everything, brother
I was there too
a man when he's at peace
don't want war with anyone
