[English]

I used to believe

We were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful (somethin' beautiful)

Somethin' beautiful (somethin' beautiful)

Sellin' a dream

Smoke and mirrors keep us waitin' on a miracle

On a miracle

Say, go through the darkest of days

Heaven's a heartbreak away

Never let you go, never let me down

Oh, it's been a hell of a ride

Driving the edge of a knife

Never let you go, never let me down

Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah

I won't give up, nah, nah, nah

Let me love you, let me love you

Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah

I won't give up, nah, nah, nah

Let me love you, let me love you

(Ooh, baby, baby)

...

Don't fall asleep

At the wheel, we've got a million miles ahead of us

Miles ahead of us

All that we need

Is a rude awakening to know we're good enough (yeah)

Know we're good enough

Say, go through the darkest of days

Heaven's a heartbreak away

Never let you go, never let me down

Oh, it's been a hell of a ride

Driving the edge of a knife

Never let you go, never let me down

Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah

I won't give up, nah, nah, nah

Let me love you, let me love you

Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah

I won't give up, nah, nah, nah

Let me love you, let me love you

(Ooh, baby, baby)

...

(Never let you go, never let you go-go)

(Never let you go, never let you go-go)

(Never let you go) woah

(Never let you go) woo

(Never let you go, never let you go-go)

(Never let you go, never let you go-go) oh, no, no, no, no

(Never let you go) yeah

(Never let you go) yeah

Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah

I won't give up, nah, nah, nah

Let me love you, let me love you

Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah

I won't give up, nah, nah, nah

Let me love you, let me love you
