[English]

Can I be honest with you?

...

Can I tell you the truth?

I never did mind the storm

Even when my heart was torn

Thunder in the night sky

I'm running from a town like this

Crashing with a stolen kiss

We're all glitter and tears in the moonlight

...

And it came to me in a taxi ride

Hit me like a blinding light

And my heart was beating so alive

...

Wanna find myself all in the wild

Oh I, oh I

I wanna get lost without you

(In the dark, in the night)

I wanna get lost without you

(Get it wrong, make it right)

Ooh, ooh

Tell me is that cool?

I wanna get lost without you

I'm gonna be afraid I fall

...

Gonna let my makeup run, oh

See every sunrise

Facing up to all my fears

Gonna find a way out of here

We're all glitter and tears in the moonlight

I wanna get lost without you

(In the dark, in the night)

I wanna get lost without you

(Get it wrong, make it right)

Ooh, ooh

Tell me is that cool?

I wanna get lost without you

I wanna get lost without you

...

(I wanna get lost without you)

...

Oho

Before the sky was broken

...

I should get even out of trouble on my own

So don't leave me totally alone

Baby the world can see me dance

The universe was ours and then it disappeared

But the sky is still blue

With or without you

And now I'm standing out here in the crowd

And I'm dancing

I wanna get lost without you

...

(In the dark, in the night)

I wanna get lost without you

(Get it wrong, make it right)

Ooh, ooh

Tell me is that cool?

I wanna get lost without you

I wanna get lost without you

...
