[English]

I want you to show me

How to get to know

Someone like you

Someone like you

I want you to know me

Cause I know then you'll see

We can be true

We can be true

I want you see what

I see in us

Something so real

Something so real

I want to see that

This is a love

That we both feel

That we both feel

And how will we ever know

If the love will ever grow

Without trying

Without trying

And how will we ever see

If we are meant to be

It's terrifying

It's terrifying...

That we are meant to be

We are

We are

We are meant to be

That we are meant to be

We are

We are

We are meant to be

We both been there before

When love shuts the door

It's a losing game

It's a losing game

But this time it's more

Than another love war

This ain't the same

This ain't the same

They say love heals all

It makes it all alright

In time

In time

My heart still feels the breaking

But you make my world so bright

It feels so right

It feels so right

And how will we ever

Feel that what we got is real

There's no denying

There's no denying

And how will we ever see

If we are meant to be

It's terrifying

It's terrifying

And how will we ever know

If the love will ever grow

Without trying

Without trying

And how will we ever see

If we are meant to be

It's terrifying

It's terrifying...

That we are meant to be

We are

We are

We are meant to be

That we are meant to be

We are

We are

We are meant to be...
