Lyrics:

[English]

It was great at the very start

Hands on each other

Couldn't stand to be far apart

Closer the better

Now we're picking fights and slamming doors

Magnifyin' all our flaws

And I wonder why, wonder what for

Why we keep coming back for more

Is it just our bodies?

Are we both losing our minds?

Is the only reason you're holding me tonight

'Cause we're scared to be lonely?

Do we need somebody

Just to feel like we're alright

Is the only reason you're holding me tonight

'Cause we're scared to be lonely?

...

Too much time, losing track of us

Where was the real

Undefined, spiraling out of touch

Forgot how it feels

All the messed up fights and slamming doors

Magnifyin' all our flaws

And I wonder why, wonder what for

It's like we keep coming back for more

Is it just our bodies?

Are we both losing our minds?

Is the only reason you're holding me tonight

'Cause we're scared to be lonely?

Do we need somebody

Just to feel like we're alright

Is the only reason you're holding me tonight

'Cause we're scared to be lonely?

...

Scared to be lonely

...

Even when we know it's wrong

Been somebody better for us all along

Tell me, how can we keep holding on, holding on tonight?

'Cause we're scared to be lonely

Even when we know it's wrong

Been somebody better for us all along

Tell me, how can we keep holding on, holding on tonight?

'Cause we're scared to be lonely

Is it just our bodies?

Are we both losing our minds?

Is the only reason you're holding me tonight

'Cause we're scared to be lonely

...

Scared to be lonely

...

Scared to be lonely

...

Scared to be lonely

...
