[English]

作曲 : Halle/RAYE/Dwayne Abernathy/Erik Griggs

Sometimes the simplest words

Are the hardest to say

And I know we're speaking the same language

But I need someone to translate

'Cause I'm scared of losing you

And losing me too

I pray all these changes don't change us

I need you

Don't bite your lip, bite mine

Don't sign off, sign in

Don't hold back

'Cause I need your arms to hold me tonight

Don't give up, give in

You don't have to be so, so tough all the time

You know this woman here loves you so much

And she can't read your mind

And, oh

I rather you grab me, shake me, push me through the wall now

'Cause this silence hurts more than any lie

I pray that the morning save us from this night

Don't bite your lip, bite mine

Don't sign off, sign in

Darling, don't hold back

'Cause I need your arms to hold me tonight

Don't give up, give in

I know that we're young

And the world is rolling their eyes

And there's every obstacle laid before us

So it's no wonder we fight

Oh

But I swear that I'm yours forever

As long as you're mine

But don't let the **** shit persuade us to give up

Don't bite your lip, bite mine, oh

Don't sign off, sign in, oh

Don't hold back

'Cause I need your arms to hold me tonight

Don't give up, give in
