[English]

We were on fire

But we burnt out

What we thought it was, never turned out (out)

You made me play the game

I'll never learn how

You didn't hear my voice

Can you hear me now? (Now)

Run to me

Tell me your secrets

Promise to keep them

Won't you just

Run to me

I'll be your shelter

When you feel helpless

Won't you just run? (Run)

If you follow me

I can keep you safe

Make a perfect plan

We can leave this place. (Place)

Did I lose you now?

Do we have to stay?

Don't wanna go on my own

But I have to get away. (Away)

Run to me

Tell me your secrets

Promise to keep them

Won't you just

Run to me

I'll be your shelter

When you feel helpless

Won't you just run? (Run)

Run (Run) Run

I will, I will

(Run)

We will, we will

We were on fire

But we burnt out

What we thought it was, never turned out

Did I lose you now?

Do we have to stay?

Did I lose you now?

Run to me

Tell me your secrets

Promise to keep them

Won't you just

Run to me

I'll be your shelter

When you feel helpless

Won't you just run? (Run)

Run (Run)

Run (Run)
