This song hits different when you watch the girl you love fall for someone else and you're just not able to let go of your feelings for her. Unable to move on, suffering every day because you miss her so much, knowing things will never be the same and still torturing yourself by wanting to be her friend..
Send this Australia. His voice is amazing and this song stands out in simplicity. That's what Eurovision stands for, the quality of the song and voice.
Found you "accidentally" by watching your journey on The Voice Australia and was blown away! Glad you`re still making music...like this song very much. Greetings right from the heart of Europe, Austria to Down Under Australia...all the best ❤
How could I do this to myself for so long? How could I do this to myself, it was wrong I can't blame nobody else Why did I do this to myself? Memories and scars of a childhood mind We are just standing in the shadows with no sense of time Am I just lost? Can’t find my way home I'm just gonna stand on the edge And feel what it's like to fall ’Cause I'm tired of being afraid But I'm not ready to let go How could I do this to myself for so long? How could I do this to myself, it was wrong I can't blame nobody else Why did I do this to myself? Why did I do this to myself? Stand on the edge And feel what it's like to fall 'Cause I'm tired of being afraid But I'm not ready to let go, ooh How could I do this to myself for so long? Why did I do this to myself, it was wrong I can’t blame nobody else Why did I do this to myself? Ooh Was I a fool to let you break down my walls? Was it wrong for me to give you my all? I can’t blame nobody else How did I do that to myself? (Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah) You can chain me but I won't stay down (Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah) I’d forget me just to please the crowd (Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah) But not anymore, no, no I'll never do that to myself
For everyone who listens to this song, that "this" they did to themselves means something different. Good job, Alfie, you managed to make a song with a really universal message! The song itself sounds like an upgraded version of "We Got Love", but with much deeper lyrics, which for me is absolutely a good thing.
Such an underrated song. Can't believe this hasn't hit a million. The words and the rhythm really resonate with me and help me through bad times. Alfie keep doing your thing, I have lots of respect for you.
When I hear this I cry sometimes in a good way cause the message and lyrics of the song hit so hard it's that good ❤❤❤❤❤ good luck Alfie on the 9th February ❤
Hope Australia gets behind you and this song on Saturday night Alfie. It is by far the best song of the batch and a song which I am sure would not only make the Eurovision Grand Final, but probably place Top 5 and it is strong enough that it could win the whole contest.
Chuffed you’re writing the Cypriot song. I’ll be in Cyprus on May 16th the day after marrying my phenomenal bloke. Hope you have a winner on your hands. You deserved it last year! Love is love. Mark x
Brother i really admire you much ... Your voice has magic . Its really heart touching . And i wish that if i had voice like you . The first time i saw you in the voice . Man really the audition was mind blowing. I really admire you the most bro . I wish I had voice like you💗💗💗💗
¡Oh! Que bonito, me gusta mucho. Esto dividido entre Mark Vicent y Alfie (y eso que esta es relativamente más sencilla), me creo que esta me gusta mucho más.
OMG i love this song so much it's so touching . It goes straight to your soul and the meaning behind the lyric is amazing. This is such a motivational song .
Wow wow wow. Your song is so amazing and your helping so many people out there. I can't even describe how great it was to see you perform tonight and even though you didn't win Eurovision pre selection I can't describe how amazing you were. There was so much emotion in your performance you made me tear up. Lots of love- Jessie from Australia. ❤️❤️
Wow... I have no words to say.. It's amazing... I can't believe I didn't listen to this song before.... I'm so touched and moved... He's so talented.... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
