[English]

(Night after night now, night after night)

(Night after night now, night after night)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

So this is emptiness, part of the game I guess

Went out looking for remedy, but the night won't set you free

No matter the warning signs, no matter how hard I try

My pulse is getting quicker, finger's on the trigger

(Night after night now, night after night)

Give me all that I need, find the truth on my knees, babe (night after night now, night after night)

(Night after night now, night after night)

Keep the fever on 'til I come undone

Every morning light shines on the shame I hide

But I'm in no way ready to face the sun

God knows what I've become

'Cause every cold and dark deserted room

Every touch that wasn't meant for you

I could've been somebody's baby but 'til then I guess

I'll just keep coming

(Night after night now, night after night)

Give me all that I need, find the truth on my knees, babe (night after night now, night after night)

(Night after night now, night after night)

Keep the fever on 'til I come undone

(Night after night now, night after night)

(Night after night now, night after night)

Undone

(Night after night now, night after night)

Keep the fever on 'til I come undone

...

Feel it in my bones, I'm heading for the door, oh my

Walked this road before, I could never let you out my sight

(Night after night now)

And I keep holding on to you

(Night after night now)

I keep on holding on to you

(Night after night now)

I keep on holding on to you, to you, to you

(Night after night now)

And there ain't nothing I can do

(Night after night after night after night)

(Night after night after night after night, now)

...
