[English]

The world isn't over yet

We've still got a chance to place our bets

We both made a little mess

Nothing our two hearts can't put back

I'll never love you less

Don't let your worries second guess

We'll start over fresh, living a life with no regrets

Living a life with no regrets

I've got my issues, I admit that

You got some fears that hold you back

But we are acting like we're children

Looking to blame for what we lack

Before we lose everything we have tomorrow

Can we forget what went wrong yesterday, darling

The world isn't over yet

We've still got a chance to place our bets

We both made a little mess

Nothing our two hearts can't put back

I'll never love you less

Don't let your worries second guess

We'll start over fresh, living a life with no regrets

Living a life with no regrets

I know you're driving yourself crazy

Thinking that time has passed you by

You're not lost where you said you'd be

But tell me, who is in this lie?

Before we lose everything we have tomorrow

Can we forget what went wrong yesterday, so darling

The world isn't over yet

We've still got a chance to place our bets

We both made a little mess

Nothing our two hearts can't put back

I'll never love you less

Don't let your worries second guess

We'll start over fresh, living a life with no regrets

Living a life with no regrets

The world isn't over yet

We can always start over

No weight on our shoulder

The world isn't over, darling

The world isn't over yet

We can always start over

No weight on our shoulder

Living a life with no regrets

Life with no regret
