[English] I'm the one for her
I did everything to have her
I saw her struggling
I saw her sleeping
I saw her in the dark
She's my beauty
I remember so many moments
I remember so many moments
I wanted us to talk
I wanted to build a life together
I wanted us to get away
I just wanted to do right by her
I messed up, I did some wrong
It's okay, I'm getting through it
But it's not the same without you
You see, it's not the same without you
I see time passing by too quickly
I tell her, don't worry, my baby
You know, my baby
I'm not going to fall for that
I want to get your attention
Just spending money isn't enough
I can't get inside your head
There's too much tension between us
I already messed up, I wasn't proud
Now I'm really being careful
I tell her, don't worry, my baby
You know, my baby
I'm not going to fall for that
I want to get your attention
Just spending money isn't enough
I can't get inside your head
There's too much tension between us
I already messed up, I wasn't proud
Now I'm really being careful
I'm not used to talking about this
Even less so to racking my brain
I love everything about her, her attitude
If you're not close to me, it's my fault
You really love me, you'll wait for me
She wants to see me from evening till morning
She wants me to be there
To give it my all
I've always been a good man
Don't be mad at me
When I'm hurting, I cause pain
You know I'll take responsibility for everything
She asks me about the future
But I don't even know myself
You don't need to be afraid, everything will be alright
I'll be there to heal your pain
If I'm not there, I'm not having fun
You stayed close to me, I remember
I tell her, don't worry, my baby
You know, my baby
I'm not going to fall for that
I want to get your attention
Just spending money isn't enough
I can't get inside your head
There's too much tension between us
I already messed up, I wasn't proud
Now I'm really being careful
I tell her, don't worry, my baby
You know, my baby
I'm not going to fall for that
I want to get your attention
Just spending money isn't enough
I can't get inside your head
There's too much tension between us
I already messed up, I wasn't proud
Now I'm really being careful
