[English]

Running through the heat, heartbeat

You shine like silver in the sunlight

You light up my cold heart

It feels right in the sun, the sun

We're running around and around like

Nothing else could matter in our life

But wait, but wait, but wait

The sun will stop shining soon and you'll be dark in my life

Yeah, you'll be gone

It's as simple as a change of heart

But I'm not gonna think about the future

A love like this won't last forever

I know that a love like this won't last forever, but I

I don't really mind, but

I don't really mind at all

...

Step into the night, love

It grows dark but you don't mind

Hiding in the back streets, yeah, you'll never notice me

All that I was thinking about was cleaning up my conscience

Lost in the memory as it shakes up the corners of my heart

Was it my mistake

Or maybe it was just as simple as a change in your heart

...

Just as simple as a change in your heart

I know now a love like this won't last forever

I know that a love like this won't last forever, but I

I know that a love like this won't last forever

I know that a love like this won't last forever, but I

And I

...

I don't mind at all

A love like this won't last forever

A love like this (a love like this)

A love like this won't last forever (a love like this won't last forever)

...
