[English]

You filled the void in me

You can fill the void in me

Just you being by my side

Helps me a lot

I used to just say thanks but now I’m reaching out to you

With you holding my hand I can shout a bigger dream

If I could do anything for you I’d do it no matter what

If you could shine brighter, I’d be the dark

I’ll be by your side

Will you be where I am

It’s too cold outside, to be alone by myself

It’s warm here, maybe because you’re here

I am YOU, I see me in you

I feel it when I’m with you

In the same space, in the same time

I can do anything

I found YOU, I found me in you

I see myself in there

In the same space, in the same time

Let me run, let me run, let me run along with YOU

You reflected myself I didn’t know

I was wandering alone because I didn’t know myself

But at some point I can see it through the window

As you’re spending the same time and the same days with me

My question and your answer fit like puzzle pieces

We’re finding the overlapping parts of our problems

Our chemistry is fantastic, Every moment it’s perfect with you

I see myself through you and you see yourself through me, it’s amazing

I’ll be by your side

Will you be where I am

It’s too cold outside, to be alone by myself

It’s warm here, maybe because you’re here

I am YOU, I see me in you

I feel it when I’m with you

In the same space, in the same time

I can do anything

I found YOU, I found me in you

I see myself in there

In the same space, in the same time

Let me run, let me run, let me run along with YOU

Yeah please be by my side

Yeah I need you right by my side now

Will you be on my side, let’s run at the same pace

We're going side by side I want to

Go with you, promise me

I see myself in you

Stay together

You and I, You and I, You and I, I’m by your side

always I’m going where you’re heading

You and I, you and I, you and I

No one can compare to you

Stay together

You and I, You and I, You and I, I’m by your side

always I’m going where you’re heading

You and I, you and I, you and I

No one can replace you

I am YOU
