[English]

Lost in your mind I wanna know

Am I losing my mind? Never let me go

If this night is not forever At least we are together

I know I'm not alone I know I'm not alone

Anywhere, whenever Apart, but still together

I know I'm not alone I know I'm not alone

I know I'm not alone

I know I'm not alone

Unconscious mind I'm wide awake

Wanna feel one last time Take my pain away

If this night is not forever At least we are together

I know I'm not alone I know I'm not alone

Anywhere, whenever Apart, but still together

I know I'm not alone I know I'm not alone

I know I'm not alone

I know I'm not alone

I'm not alone, I'm not alone I'm not alone, I know I'm not alone

I'm not alone, I'm not alone I'm not alone, I know I'm not alone
