Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(Lose this feeling)

I got all the lights on me

Blinded, I can barely see

Know that's where I wanna be

Right here next to you in this crowded room

I don't wanna lose it tonight

Lose it tonight, lose this feeling

I don't wanna know what it's like

Know what it's like to lose this feeling

(Lose this feeling)

...

Lose this feeling

I don't wanna lose it tonight

Lose it tonight, lose this feeling

I don't wanna know what it's like

Know what it's like to lose this feeling

Finally, I found a place

Makes me feel my heart won't break

All I know, I'm gonna stay

I'm gonna stay with you

I don't wanna lose it tonight

Lose it tonight, lose this feeling

I don't wanna know what it's like

Know what it's like to

Know what it's like to

Know what it's like to

Lose this feeling

...

(Lose this feeling)

...

Lose this feeling

I don't wanna lose it tonight

Lose it tonight, lose this feeling

I don't wanna know what it's like

Know what it's like to lose this feeling

(Lose this feeling)

(Lose this feeling)

I don't wanna lose it tonight

Lose it tonight, lose this feeling

I don't wanna know what it's like

Know what it's like to lose this feeling

...
