Lyrics & Translation

[English]

My head is haunting me, and my heart feels like a ghost

I need to feel something 'cause I'm still so far from home

Cross your heart and hope to die

Promise me you'll never leave my side

...

Show me what I can't see when the spark in my eyes is gone

You got me on my knees, I'm your one-man cult

Cross my heart and hope to die

Promise you I'll never leave your side

...

'Cause I'm telling you, you're all I need

I promise you, you're all I see

'Cause I'm telling you, you're all I need

I'll never leave

So, you can drag me through hell

If it meant I could hold your hand

I will follow you, 'cause I'm under your spell

And you can throw me to the flames

I will follow you, I will follow you

...

Come sink into me and let me breathe you in

I'll be your gravity, you be my oxygen

So dig two graves 'cause when you die

I swear I'll be leaving by your side

So you can drag me through hell

If it meant I could hold your hand

I will follow you 'cause I'm under your spell

And you can throw me to the flames

I will follow you

So you can drag me through hell

If it meant I could hold your hand

I will follow you 'cause I'm under your spell

And you can throw me to the flames

I will follow you, I will follow you

...

I will follow you, I will follow you

...

So you can drag me through hell

If it meant I could hold your hand

I will follow you 'cause I'm under your spell

And you can throw me to the flames

I will follow you, I will follow you

...
