I'm crying for the first time
This year, or in my whole life
For the first time, I'm dying
Without you, my heart aches
All this emotion scares me
And you, you're still asleep
Sleep on until the day everything's alright
And I, I think it's tomorrow
That the day will come when everything's alright
When our two bodies will finally dance
When you tell me sad things
Suddenly, darkness falls
In my house and over the city
There's like a cool breeze
I never know what to say to you
Life often wounds you
While waiting for us to breathe again
You can really sleep
Sleep on until the day everything's alright
And I, I think it's tomorrow
That the day will come when everything's alright
When our two bodies will finally dance
I love you, that's just how it is
I'm crying for the first time
This year, or in my whole life
