[English]

I, oh-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Honestly

If I lost you, it'd be the end of me

End of me, everything

All the love would leave inside of me entirely

We're just two tangled souls

Made of roses and thorns

Cuttin' through concrete, mm

We're just ships in the night

Chasin' after the light

Long as I got you, you got me

So don't let the sunset

On our love

Don't let the night fall

Tear us apart, no

'Cause I'm lost without you, without you

Don't let the sunset

On our love, no

Hard to breathe

Every time that you have to leave

'Til you're back with me

All of the parts of me

Thinkin' Heaven must be real

From the way you make me feel, oh

We're just two tangled souls

Made of roses and thorns

Cuttin' through concrete, mm

We're just ships in the night

Chasin' after the light

Long as I got you, you got me, oh

So don't let the sunset

On our love

Don't let the night fall (night fall)

Tear us apart, no

'Cause I'm lost without you, without you

Don't let the sunset

On our love, no

We're just two tangled souls

Made of roses and thorns

We're just ships in the night

Chasin' after the light

Tell me, what would be life

Without you by my side?

We're just oceans and waves

We're just one in the same (oh-oh)

So don't let the sunset (yeah)

On our love (on our love)

Don't let the night fall (don't let it get too dark)

Tear us apart, no

'Cause I'm lost (I'm lost with you, and him, with me)

Without you, without you (I need you back, baby, oh)

Don't let the sunset

On our love, no

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
