English Lyrics
Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Grand Final

Performer: Željko Joksimović
Song title: Nije Ljubav Stvar
Song writer(s): Marina Tucaković / Miloš Roganović
Song composer(s): Željko Joksimović
Lyrics: Original, French


Better luck next time,
You say that so easily.
I can see we're over now,
But it could have been so good.
Know that even if you leave,
Something yours will stay.

Love is not a thing,
That I can just give back to you.
This is only me,
I've only ever loved you

Love is not a thing,
That I don't know what do to with,
I wish you just the best,
This love is my sinking ship.

Your love is not a thing,
That I can just give back to you.
This is only me,
I've only ever loved you.

My love is not a thing,
That I don't know what to do with,
I wish you just the best,
This is my sinking ship.

Go,just, just go,
Fly away, sing,
Give your heart to someone else,
But know
That goodbye is not the end.


My love is not a thing,
That I don't know what to do with,
I wish you just the best,
This is my sinking ship.

Original Lyrics

Why,
Why can't this moment last forever more
Tonight,
Tonight eternity's an open door
No
Don't ever stop doing the things you do
Don't go
In every breath I take I'm breathing you

Euphoria
Forever, ‘til the end of time
From now on, only you and I
We’re going u-u-u-u-u-u-up

Euphoria
An everlasting piece of art
A beating love within my heart
We’re going u-u-u-u-u-u-up

We are here
We are alone in our own universe
We are free
Where everything's aloud and love comes first
Forever and ever together
We sail into infinity
We're higher and higher and higher
We're reaching for divinity

Euphoria
Forever, ‘til the end of time
From now on, only you and I
We’re going u-u-u-u-u-u-up

Euphoria
An everlasting piece of art
A beating love within my heart
We’re going u-u-u-u-u-u-up

Forever
We sail into infinity
We're higher
We're reaching for divinity

Euphoria
Euphoria
We’re going u-u-u-u-u-u-up

Euphoria
An everlasting piece of art
A beating love within my heart
We’re going u-u-u-u-u-u-up

Euphoria

Euphoria

We’re going u-u-u-u-u-u-up
