[English]

Tell me why this pain in my heart

I keep thinking about you, and the hurt just grows

The more time passes, the more it feels so bittersweet

I want today to last forever, I don't want this to end

Your eyes, your lips

All of you captivates me, takes my breath away

Every time I meet you, you're so wonderful

Right behind you, right beside you

And I wanna know

I want to know more than anyone, who you really are

Everything about you

And I wanna know

Do my feelings reach you somehow?

I'll give you my all

I need you in my arms

I want you to hold me

Before these feelings overflow

I need you in my life

So that my heartbeat echoes, I need you

You are touching my heart

I won't let you go

I won't, I won't

I won't, I won't

I won't let you go

I won't, I won't

I, I, I, I, I won't

I won't let you go

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I won't

I won't let you go

I won't, I won't

I won't, I won't

I won't let you go

I love it whenever you call me

Blinking overhead, tell me

When I look into your eyes

I'm already completely taken, baby you're my only

I wanna see you, wanna touch you

I want to tell you, want to stare at you

And I feel something too, like us

I wanna hear you say that you love me

And I wanna know

How much do you understand about us?

And I wanna go

Even if these are just my feelings

I won't let go

I won't let go

I need you in my arms

I want you to hold me back

Before these feelings overflow

I need you in my life

So my heartbeat echoes, I need you

You are touching my heart

I won't let you go (go) go (go)

...

It seems like I only see you

The truth is, I am not myself

You're my everything

You're my everyday

With every breath, I confirm again

The feelings are racing

My emotions are surpassing

Am I your something?

Am I okay?

Even if just a little, do you think of me?

I need you in my arms

I want you to hold me

Before these feelings overflow

I need you in my life

So my heartbeat echoes, I need you

...

You are touching my heart

I won't let you go

I won't, I won't

I won't, I won't (No no)

I won't let you go

I won't, I won't

I, I, I, I (I won't), I won't

I won't let you go (baby)

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I won't

I won't let you go

I won't, I won't

I won't, I won't

I won't let you go

...
