[English]

Warm coffee and a cigarette

We would smoke the last one

In my twin sized bed

This moment feels safe and sound

Though we know the storm is coming

To take us down

And I know this is just beginning

Though I've seen this place before

No one told us it was easy

Or anything at all

If we need to say goodbye, I do

If staying here could save your life, I would

I will make you happy

There is nothing I won't do

So I'm losing you

...

If staying here could save your life, I would

Once and forever we close this door

The one that leads to heaven

On the second floor

Stay with me till the morning comes

Cause all I ever wanted

Was to show you the sun

If we need to say goodbye, I do

If staying here could save your life, I would

I will make you happy

There is nothing I won't do

So I'm losing you

...

If staying here could save your life

Could save your life, I would

I would

So I'm losing you

Could save your life

Could save your life, I would

...

I would

...
