Istina
Zeljko Joksimovic · Other Songs - Zeljko Joksimovic
verovao nisam da si otisla
ostao sam sebi duzan istinu
sta je to u nama krilo nevolju
sta je to u nama
Mogao sam s tobom ljubav imati
mogao, a nisam, nisi htela ti
ostao sam sebi duzan istinu
sta je medju nama krilo nevolju
Ref.
Sada znam, htela si sve
ali je dusi dosta bila prazna rec
sada znam, odnosis sve
zar prodajes ljubav za greh
Tada sam, mogao sve
tvoja je ceznja bila samo prazna rec
sada znam, gotovo je
ti prodajes ljubav za greh
Mogao sam s tobom kao nikada
verovao nisam da si otisla
ostao sam sebi duzan istinu
sta je to u nama krilo nevolju
sta je to u nama
Ref.
Sada znam, hocu da znam
htela si sve, reci mi da znam
ali je meni dosta bila prazna rec
jedna prazna rec
evo sad, hocu da znam, odnosis sve
reci mi da znam
zar prodajes ljubav za greh
