[English]

Kiss me

...

I know something that you don't know

I'm outside your window

You're inside my head

Cuz I've been feeling too high lately

Need your low to save me

Lock me up again

Look what you've done

You turned a good girl into

Some kind of masochist

Hurts when I come

Hurts even more to leave you

A shame I can't resist

Barbwire kiss

Taste of my blood on your lips

Barbwire kiss

Trapped inside your wickedness

Barbwire kiss

Stupid me I deserve to hurt like this

But I need the pain of your

Barbwire

Kiss me underneath the blood sky

I don't even know why

You won't let me free

Placed inside your isolation

Don't want to escape it

Throw away the key

Look what you've done

You turned a good girl into

Some kind of masochist

Hurts when I come

Hurts even more to leave you

A shame I can't resist

Barbwire kiss

Taste of my blood on your lips

Barbwire kiss

Trapped inside your wickedness

Barbwire kiss

Stupid me I deserve to hurt like this

But I need the pain of your

Barbwire kiss

...

Look what you've done

Look what you've done

Look what you've done

Look what you've done

Barbwire kiss

Taste of my blood on your lips

Barbwire kiss

Trapped inside your wickedness

Barbwire kiss

Stupid me I deserve to hurt like this

But I need the pain of your

Barbwire kiss

...
