Lyrics:

[English]

I know well that you're bad for me

Your eyes and the way you move

I try to get away from you

But being brainwashed, all I can do is nod

I don’t hate how your words make my feet entangled and dance

Cause I don’t want to deny the truth that it was destined to be you from the beginning

So elegant, a Criminal who hurts me

It’s okay You soothe me just to torture me again

Ooh I’m on a leash called you

It’s painful as much as I can’t breathe but also magnificent

So elegant, a Criminal who destroys me

Not okay I try and shake my head

Ooh but I’m only getting dragged in more deeply

The moment I fall for you, is the end of my innocence

The Syndrome called you

You lure me in and shake me

Behind your childlike innocent face

A frightening side of you, gives me goose bumps

My heart with an open wound is already full of your fingerprints

My hands holding yours that stabbed me are not clean either

So elegant, a Criminal who hurts me

It’s okay You soothe me just to torture me again

Ooh I’m on a leash called you

It’s painful as much as I can’t breathe but also magnificent

So elegant, a Criminal who destroys me

Not okay I try and shake my head

Ooh but I’m only getting dragged in more deeply

The moment I fall for you, is the end of my innocence

Destroy me more

So elegant, a Criminal who hurts me

It’s okay You soothe me just to torture me again

Ooh I’m on a leash called you

It’s painful as much as I can’t breathe but also magnificent

So elegant, a Criminal who destroys me

Not okay I try and shake my head

Ooh but I’m only getting dragged in more deeply

I don’t want to get away, destroy me completely
