Lyrics and translation
Original
Always on my mind
(Every day, every night)
Your star burns so bright
(Why did I push you away?)
I was scared sometimes
You had a power like a lightnin' strike
When I'm on stage, sometimes I lie
Say that I love singin' these songs you left behind
(And I know you always said) "It's okay to cry"
So, I know I can cry, I can cry, so I cry
Wish I tried to pull you closer
You pushed me hard, made me focus
Your words, brutal, lovin', truthful
I was petrified
You're a hero and a human
Track was gone, I'd make excuses
You would say, "Come on, stay for dinner"
I'd say, "No, I'm fine"
(Now I really wish I stayed)
Always on my mind
(Every day, every night)
Your star burns so bright
(Why did I push you away?)
I was scared sometimes
You had a power like a lightnin' strike
When I'm on stage, sometimes I lie
Say that I love singin' these songs you left behind
(And I know you always said) "It's okay to cry"
So, I know I can cry, I can cry, so I cry
Guilty feelings keep me fractured
Got a phone call after Christmas
Didn't know how I should act
I watched you dance online
Your sounds, your words live on, endless
When I make songs, I remember
Things you'd suggest, "Make it faster"
Would you like this one?
(Maybe just a little bit?)
Always on my mind
(Every day, every night)
Your star burns so bright
(Why did I push you away?)
I was scared sometimes
You had a power like a lightnin' strike
When I'm on stage, sometimes I lie
Say that I love singin' these songs you left behind
(And I know you always said) "It's okay to cry"
So, I know I can cry, I can cry, so I cry
