“Everything”

Music: Nikos Karvelas

Lyrics: Anna Vissi


I can hear my heart breaking

As I open the door

I can feel the tears

On my face burn like fire

As I look in your eyes

And I know

I'm still in love with…


Everything I hate

Everything you do

Everything I fear

Everything on you


I can feel my life ending

As a whisper goodbye

And I know

I'm still in love with…


Everything I hate

Everything you do

Everything I fear

Everything on you


I can’t believe I still need you

I can’t believe I still want you

I can’t believe life means

Nothing without you

Baby I'm still in love with…


Everything I hate

Everything you do

Everything I fear

Everything on you


I’m in love with…


Everything you are
