[English]

Keep me in your prayers

Got me runnin' scared

You turn me into someone I don't wanna be

But I don't even care though

I'm dead and unaware though

I only feel alive when you hurt me

Spend whatever on you

Spend a minute on you

I know I'm gonna lose

I do it anyway

There's a killer in you

And it's killing me too

I know I'm gonna lose

I do it anyway

Don't temp me with

Those tinted eyes

This don't feel right

I should know better

Just like a sin

Those tinted eyes

Hold your disguise

I should know better

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Don't temp me with those tinted eyes

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Don't temp me with those tinted eyes

Yeah

All I want is how I found ya

No need to change while you feel the pressure

All the nights, all nostalgia

I need something strong to get me through forever (Yeah, yeah)

Like a potion

Bottled up emotions

Back and forth and up and down

Just going through the motions

I'm just hoping

You don't leave me broken

Round and round, we lost and found

The meaning of devotion

You say

That you think this could last forever

I can't (I can't)

Lie to you to make it better

You say

We'll make it through the stormy weather

But I told ya, I told ya, I told ya

Don't temp me with

Those tinted eyes

This don't feel right

I should know better

Just like a sin

Those tinted eyes

Hold your disguise

I should know better

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Don't temp me with those tinted eyes

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Don't temp me with those tinted eyes

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Don't temp me with those tinted eyes

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Don't temp me with those tinted eyes

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Don't temp me with those tinted eyes

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Don't temp me with those tinted eyes
