The chorus comes where he says that his heart and mind are fighting and says to the girl to don't play with a fire. He is feeling that easily she is killing him as the rhythm goes. In the second part of the song he says again that without embarrass she is sending views to him. He again says that is going crazy. The song is continuing with the chorus. The lyrics are made by Jovan Trpčeski.
