[English]
You know love’s an invisible fantasyIf you really love, expose all you have.
‘I love you’ — engrave it on your breast!
Submit myself? Never, ever!
This, that, the other—all of it! I can’t do it. It’s not enough. But I tell you, I want it all!
So, I’m selfish. Just kneel down!
Listen to me. Hey my boy.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on!
Just your embraces Not enough for my desire.
Just excuses! If you want me to love you,
You make me! So crazy.
Stare at those lips, you’re misled by.
In the mirror’s reflection I see,
A smirking devil. Keep the lies concealed.
You know love’s an invisible fantasy
If you really love, expose all you have.
‘I love you’ engrave it on your breast!
Submit myself? Never, ever!
Just now, come search for me. Right now! This will be the last one,
Let’s carry on… let’s carry on…
Stronger
So sweet, but that ain’t enough.
Excite me! I wanna play some more.
Give it to me, give me more, until I sleep. I want your attention!
Hung up, hung up, hung up, hung up!
You always notice too late.
All right then, if you want my forgiveness
Don’t tell me you’re sorry!
If you’re not ready for it, let’s say goodbye!
Don’t listen to what others say.
Let’s see if you can steal away my feelings!
You know, love’s an invisible fantasy.
If you really love, expose all you have.
‘I love you’ engrave it on your breast!
Submit myself? Never, ever!
Just now, come search for me. Right now! This will be the last one
Let’s carry on... let’s carry on...
Deeper
I am lonely, pretending to be strong Do you know? No? No, no, no!
I didn’t mean ‘anything is okay’. I choose you!
You know love’s an invisible fantasy
If you really love, expose all you have.
‘I love you’ engrave it on your breast!
Submit myself? Never, ever!
Just now, come search for me. Right now! This will be the last one,
Let’s carry on...let’s carry on...
Deeper
Become my prisoner.
That’s right, no release.
I cannot wait forever.
Danger shakes my resolve. Round and round,
If you waver, it’s too late! I’ll disappear.
No hesitation, now, choose me!
