Lyrics & Translation

[English]

We're borderline, all the time, always close to runnin'

You and I, paradise, where did we go wrong?

Jealous eyes, tell a lie, cold and dark in London

Valentines, didn't shine, what have we become?

Been through it all, there's nothin' left to see

We turned exactly into what we said we'd never ever be

Woah, in lover's ecstasy

We turned exactly into what we said we'd never ever (never ever)

Ooh, I said I'd never let you down, you said you'd never let me down

And now I gotta let you let me leave

Ooh, I said I'd never let you down, you said you'd never let me down

And now I gotta let you let me leave

The fire's out, speak our minds, always close to crashin'

Into walls, seen it all, still that same old song

I'd never lie, and if I try, you would see right through me

We redefine, stars align, we're back where we belong

Been through it all, there's nothin' left to see

We turned exactly into what we said we'd never ever be

Woah, in lover's ecstasy

We turned exactly into what we said we'd never ever (never ever)

Ooh, I said I'd never let you down, you said you'd never let me down

And now I've gotta let you let me leave

Ooh, I said I'd never let you down, you said you'd never let me down

And now I've gotta let you let me leave

And now I've gotta let you let me leave
