I heard that I was on every news board,
Missing since forever, rumours have soared.
But you don't really care for me, do you?
Not enough to know I was only a myth
So I had to flee before the spell lift.
But if you sing to me, I will sing back to ya.
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Your act of love for me was always too weak.
Only wanted we when I looked small and meek.
I loved me truly and you knew.
You hated my flair. (and my raven hair too)
You broke my home, threw me in a lair.
Trapped me forever in a bhool bhulaiya.
Bhool bhulaiya, bhool bhulaiya
Bhool bhulaiya, bhool bhulaiya
You always jaap my name in vain,
When I don't even know your name.
But if I did well really what's it to you?
If we ever meet again, I will flip you a bird.
But if you sing to me, I will sing back to ya.
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
I did my best but it wasn't much,
Hiding away could only help so much.
I did me but so did you.
It has gone all too wrong.
It has gone wrong since way too long.
But if you sing to my grave, my grave will sing back to ya.
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
