[English]

I keep waking at night in the freezing cold

...

Staring at the shadows coming up the walls

Giving me a feeling I can't define

"Is there anyone there?" I say to the dark

But all I get back is a beating heart

Going out of rhythm and I realize

Oh, something's changed

Oh, something's changed

It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds

It's just a mind trick, I don't know why

But it reminds me of someone that I used to know

All that I can't forget, is every night right beside me

I open my eyes and it reminds me

I should have never let you go

Look up there don't you see her face

That familiar heart, that familiar shape

Are giving me a feeling, I can't define

Oh, something's changed

Oh, something's changed

It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds

It's just a mind trick, I don't know why

But it reminds me of someone that I used to know

All that I can't forget, is every night right beside me

I open my eyes and it reminds me

I should have never let you go

I wanna put my arms around you

Tell everyone I found you

But you're just a shadow in my mind

You know you've got me so enchanted

Why you gotta be cold-heart

Dancing on your own in the cold streetlight

It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds

It's just a mind trick, I don't know why

But it reminds me of someone that I used to know

All that I can't forget, is every night right beside me

I open my eyes and it reminds me

I should have never let you go
