[English]

Sometimes I think I was born on the day that I met you

Spent all of my days, all my nights praying you never let me go

I hate to admit that I still got some shit from my fucked up past

But you've managed to break down my walls (walls)

You love me so much, it gave me enough

Enough to finally have the guts to love myself

Thought that I'd been deep, yeah, I could've sworn

But everything you are to me is so much more

You made me realize that I've never loved anyone before

You made me realize that I've never loved anyone before

The only complaint that I got is that I'm fucking scared now

The fact that with you, I have so much to lose, got me terrified

And if the world ends, and it pulls us apart then you know I promise

To find you wherever you are (wherever you are)

You love me so much, it gave me enough

Enough to finally have the guts to love myself

Thought that I'd been deep, yeah, I could've sworn

But everything you are to me is so much more

You made me realize that I've never loved anyone before

You made me realize that I've never loved anyone before

Yeah, you're lighting up my soul

When I start, you help me finish

Pull me up when I feel low

A year could feel like minutes

And when my eyes are gettin' tired

You hold them open wide

I wouldn't think twice if you asked me to die for you

You love me so much, it gave me enough

Enough to finally have the guts to love myself

Thought that I'd been deep, yeah, I could've sworn

But everything you are to me is so much more

You made me realize that I've never loved anyone before

You made me realize that I've never loved anyone before
