[English]

I don't wanna say I saw it from a mile away

But I did

I knew it all along

I don't wanna come back just to feel like it was yesterday

But I did

No no

Cause givin' up

Was never for me

All that I got

Was my destiny

They say it's luck

But behind the scenes

I've been tellin' myself

Why

Does the music got me singing something beautiful

Beautiful

I

I've been feeling and believing all the miracles

Miracles

Very superstitious

Superstitious, I'm

Superstitious

Very superstitious

Superstitious, I'm

Superstitious

Just for a minute

I let my guard down

My intuition

Is talkin' out loud

It's automatic

I'm finding the good in the bad in between

Oh no

Cause givin' up

Was never for me

All that I got

Was my destiny

They say it's luck

But behind the scenes

I've been tellin' myself

Why

Does the music got me singing something beautiful

Beautiful

I

I've been feelin' and believin' all the miracles

Miracles

Very superstitious

Superstitious, I'm

Superstitious

Very superstitious

Superstitious, I'm

Superstitious

Aah Aah

Slow it down for ya

I'm superstitious

Might say I'm too ambitious

But I'm standin' on my business

And I'm killin' this yeah

I'm fearless

I don't ask for forgiveness

Not just another princess (ooh)

Wishing for something different

Now watch me

Do it all, do it all, do it all

Yeah

Take it all, take it all, take it all

Cause I know there ain't nothing better than living my fantasy life

Baby that's why

I'm superstitious

...

• Cause givin' up was never for me

  ➔ Gerund as Subject Complement

  ➔ The 'giving up' functions as a noun (gerund) and acts as the subject complement, describing what 'was never for me'.

• They say it's luck

  ➔ Impersonal 'they'

  ➔ The use of 'they' here doesn't refer to specific people, but expresses a general belief or common saying.

• I've been feeling and believing all the miracles

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous with Coordinating Conjunctions
