[English]

In my dreams I see your face

It hits me like a thousand trains

I don't wanna wake up if you're gone

Do you still love me?

I gotta know

Never mind, just keep it quiet if you don't

Do you still love me?

I gotta know

I gotta know

Hold me in your arms

Pretend that you're God

Recreate the stars for me one by one

I'll give you what you want

Pretend that you're God all night long

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

Oh because in my dreams, I see your face

It hits me like a thousand trains

I don't wanna wake up if you're gone

Do you still love me?

I gotta know

Never mind, just keep it quiet if you don't

Do you still love me?

I gotta know

I gotta know

Hold me in your arms

Pretend that you're God

Recreate the stars for me one by one

I'll give you what you want

Pretend that you're God all night long

Oh, if you're gone

Ahhhhhh

I'm haunted I'm haunted

He's missing

He's missing

I'm haunted

I'm haunted

He's missing, deep within my chest

I'm haunted, you're lost in my soul like God

You're lost in my soul like God
