Lyrics:

[English]

I want to know you

There's so much at stake

Can't face the memories

They bend me 'til I break

Hiding from the past

But it's eating me alive

Can't block it out

When it's coming from inside

Every turn leads me to a new dead end

Lost again, I'm screaming your name

Come close, come close

And call my name

How can you turn your back on me

When you know my pain?

Stay close, stay close

Light up the night

Save me from the part of me

That's begging to die

...

Precious denial, a stone to break my back

The chains I carry won't cut me any slack

Imprisoned by fear with no room for my heart

My only hope, only you can heal the scars

Every turn leads me to a new dead end

Lost again, I'm screaming your name

Come close, come close

And call my name

How can you turn your back on me

When you know my pain?

Stay close, stay close

Light up the night

Save me from the part of me

That's begging to die

...

Stay by my side

If you leave me, I will die

Stay by my side

If you leave me, I will die

Stay by my side

If you hold me, I will fly

If you hold me, I will fly

Will you hold me

Come close, come close

And call my name (call my name)

How can you turn your back on me

When you know my pain?

Stay close, stay close

Light up the night (up the night)

Save me from the part of me

That's begging to die

Come close, come close

And call my name

How can you turn your back on me

When you know my pain?

Stay close, stay close

Light up the night

Save me from the part of me

That's begging to die
