Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I could trace the fingerprints you left

Burning in my skin

Here we go again

Didn't think I'd see you here tonight

How long has it been?

Can't shake the feeling

I need you more than I want to

I want you more than I should

And everything that I'm thinking

I'm only thinking of you

'Cause all the love that you promised

I multiplied it by two

And even though you're not honest

I'm here to tell you the truth

I still love you

I still love you

I still love you, oh

I still love you

Tell me you love me, too

It's lonely protecting a broken heart

It only heals when

You're in my vision

Remember we built castles in the sky

Why did we leave them?

Leave them in pieces

I need you more than I want to

I want you more than I should

And everything that I'm thinking

I'm only thinking of you

'Cause all the love that you promised

I multiplied it by two

And even though you're not honest

I'm here to tell you the truth

I still love you

I still love you

I still love you, oh

I still love you

Tell me you love me, too

Why can't you just stop the hurt?

'Cause I know you hurt

I'm the only one that you want

Why can't you just say the words?

Fine then, I'll go first

You're the only one that I want

I still love you

I still love you

I still love you

I still love you

Just tell me you love me, too

I need you more than I want to

I want you more than I should

And everything that I'm thinking

I still love you

'Cause all the love that you promised

I multiplied it by two

And even though you're not honest

I still love you

I still love you

I still love you
