[English]

I will go to sleep now

With you on my mind

Smiling at your attempts

To shrink me to your size

Review my life, define me

It's all just in your eyes

Nothing makes me weak now

I've learned to survive

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be loved (I will be)

I will be loved (I will be, I will be loved)

I will be loved

I've been gettin' out my mind, feel like I've been left behind and

Nothin' over here defines me, come find me, oh

Tryin' to escape the light, but I'm runnin' out of time and

Nothin' over here defines me, come find me, oh

Everything is open now, but I will never let it take me

They will only know the fake me, I'm snakin'

Was I ever really down? I don't understand this fighting

Nothing over here excites me, come find me

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be loved (I will be)

I will be loved (I will be, I will be loved)

I will be loved

Underestimate you now, but I will never let them break me

They will only know the fake me, they thank me, oh

But they will try to bring you down, I don't understand the fightin'

Nothing over here excites me, come find me, oh

No one gets to know your name, 'til death is better kept a secret

Love is where the blood runs deepest, the steepest

Who am I to throw you blame? Nothing really left inside me

Nothing over here defines me, come find me

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be loved (I will be)

I will be loved (I will be, I will be loved)

I will be loved (I will be)

I will be loved

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, greatest, greatest

I will be the greatest, I will be the greatest
