[English]

Well we'll kiss for that's how it begins

We'll embrace just to warm our skins

I'll think of her and you'll think of him

And we'll talk to keep the silence from our ears

And we'll laugh because we're so close to tears

We're just lonely, you know, that's why we're here

'Cause you don't taste like you should

And you don't fit in my arms like she would

Lying in the dark, it's understood

We are both lost

And we won't be found

We will wake up with each other in our paws

You cover over white bits like I've not seen them before

We'll say goodbye and then we'll say no more

Cause hearts won't buy love and nor will they sell

And there is no love in this hotel

Though we're walking home we know too well

We are both lost

We are both lost

And we won't be found

She was my compass

He was your map

We've come too far to be turning back

And we'll sit on our single beds

Nothing on our hearts and tears on our threads

For we know the last unicorn is dead
