Lyrics & Translation

[English]
With or without you
With or without you
What if I told ya that I want ya
But I see your heart is pure
What if I told ya I'm a monster
Don't come closer
Innocent girl, don't touch, don't do it
Don't wanna take your golden light
Out in the world, you're just an angel
But here in the dark, my sacrifice
With or without you
Yeah, I'm torn between a deeper desire
With or without you
There's a flame and baby, it's getting brighter
Yeah, you got that Oh oh
With or without you
I belong here in the beautiful fire
It's all my bad desire
I got desires, baby girl you got desires too
Wanna write my name up on your skin permanent like a tattoo
You pull me close and say forever, ain't enough for you
Oh
Innocent girl, don't touch, don't do it
Don't wanna take your golden light
Out in the world, you're just an angel
But here in the dark, my sacrifice
With or without you
Yeah, I'm torn between a deeper desire
With or without you
There's a flame and baby, it's getting brighter
Yeah, you got that Oh oh
With or without you
I belong here in the beautiful fire
It's all my bad desire
Tell me
All your
Deepest
All your bad desires
Tell me
All your
Deepest
All your bad desires
Oh oh
With or without you
I belong here in the beautiful fire
It's all my bad desire
