[English]

We've been running circles 'round and doing figure eights

Worried, I've been stressing 'bout you

You've been on my brain

I need you to let me know if you feel the same 'cause I

Recognize that we might be runnin' out of time

But in your eyes, I've always known when something isn't right

Don't make me bow out and say I didn't try

So before we say "XO, Goodbye"

Let me tell you why

The sun doesn't rise without you

The more I hold the night

The rain wouldn't stop pouring down, no

The clouds, they will always cry

Can't take it anymore living in this space between

Time will never make it right

'Cause the sun doesn't rise without you by my side

By my side

Sun doesn't rise, without you

What can I do? You've chosen your place

If this's what you want, then I will give you your space

But my future feels so dark

Without the one I can't replace

So before we say "XO, Goodbye"

Let me tell you why

The sun doesn't rise without you

The more I hold the night

The rain wouldn't stop pouring down, no

The clouds, they will always cry

Can't take it anymore living in this space between

Time will never make it right

'Cause the sun doesn't rise without you by my side

By my side

Sun doesn't rise, without you

Sun doesn't rise without you, baby
