[English]

This time all I want is you

There is no one else

Who can take your place

This time you burned me with your eyes

You see past all the lies

You take it all away

I've seen it all and it's never enough

It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away

Take me away

I've got nothing left to say

Just take me away

I try to make my way to you

But still I feel so lost

I don't know what else I can do

I've seen it all and it's never enough

It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away

Take me away

I've got nothing left to say

Just take me away

Don't give up on me yet, don't forget who I am

This time all I want is you

There is no one else

Who can take your place

I've seen it all and it's never enough

It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away

Take me away

I've got nothing left to say

Just take me away

Take me away

Take me away

I've got nothing left to say

Just take me away
