[English]

You been running, running, running, running

You been running, running, running, running on my mind

Ever since I met you

I cannot forget you

You been running on my, running on my mind

Ever since I met you

Now I know that you're special

You been running on my, running on my mind

You been running on my mind

I been running circles tryna find

Someone like you but you're one of a kind

I been tryna figure out the reason that I lost you

'Cause ever since I lost you, I feel lost all the time

Tell me what you need, I'll get that

You the one for me, I lost you, I regret that (regret that)

Please let me fix the things I couldn't fix before (I couldn't fix before)

Tell me what you want, I'll grab it

Baby, you the one, we got the magic

So please let me do the things I didn't do before

Ever since I met you

I cannot forget you

You been running on my, running on my mind

Ever since I met you

Now I know that you're special

You been running on my, running on my mind (my mind)

Running, running, run

Running, running, run

Running, running

You been running on mind

Yeah, I know

There was times I pushed you away and it made you sad

And I know

It shouldn't have taken losing you to see what I have

Yeah, I know

You gave me many chances and you feel I wasted all your time

But I know

I just need one more chance to love you and make you mine

If you wanna try, let's try it

If the love is there, why would we deny it?

Please let me love you

I wish I loved you better before

Ever since I met you

I cannot forget you

You been running on my, running on my mind (running, running, running)

Ever since I met you

Now I know that you're special

You been running on my, running on my mind (my mind)

Running, running, run

Running, running, running

Running on my mind all night
