[English]

The best thing 'bout tonight's that we're not fighting

Could it be that we have been this way before?

I know you don't think that I am trying

I know you're wearing thin, down to the core

But hold your breath

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day, I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

You're impossible to find

...

...

This is not what I intended

I always swore to you I'd never fall apart

You always thought that I was stronger

I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start

Oh, but hold your breath

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day, I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

It's impossible

So breathe in so deep

Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep

And hold on to your words 'cause talk is cheap

And remember me tonight when you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day, I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day, I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

You're impossible to find
