[English]

I, I must confess

How hard I tried to breathe

Through the trees of loneliness

And you, you must confess

How hard you need to see

Through the heart beatin' out my chest

Feel like we've been falling down

Like these autumn leaves

But baby don't let winter come

Don't let our hearts freeze

If the morning light don't steal our soul

We will walk away from empty gold

...

...

Dark, as midnight sun

Smoke as black as charcoal

Fills into our fragile lungs

'Cause when our demons come

Dancing in the shadows

To a game that can't be won

Feel like we've been falling down

Like these autumn leaves

But baby don't let winter come

Don't let our hearts freeze

If the morning light don't steal our soul

We will walk away from empty gold

If the morning light don't steal our souls

We will walk away from empty gold

We're the underdogs

In this world alone

I'm a believer got a fever

Runnin' through my bones

We're the ally cats

And they can throw their stones

They can break our hearts

They won't take our souls

We're the underdogs

In this world alone

I'm a believer got a fever

Runnin' through my bones

We're the ally cats

And they can throw their stones

They can break our hearts

They won't take our soul

...

If the morning light don't steal our soul

We will walk away from empty gold

If the morning light don't steal our soul

We will walk away from empty gold

...

We will walk away from empty gold

...
