[English]

She finds it hard to trust someone

She's heard the words 'cause they've all been sung

She's the girl in the corner

She's the girl nobody loved

But I can't, I can't, can't stop thinking about you everyday

You can't, you can't, you can't listen to what people say

They don't know you baby

Don't know that you're amazing

But I'm here to stay

I'm here to stay, yeah

When you lose your way and the fight is gone

Your heart starts to break, and you need someone around now

Just close your eyes while I put my arms around you

And make you unbreakable

She stands in the rain, just to hide it all

If you ever turn around

I won't let you fall down now

I swear I'll find your smile then put my arms around you

And make you unbreakable

'Cause she's the girl that I never had

She's the heart that I wanted bad

The song I heard on the radio

That made me stop and think of her

And I can't, I can't, I can't concentrate anymore

And I need, I need, need to show her what her heart is for

It's been mistreated badly

Now her world has started

Falling apart

Falling apart

When you lose your way and the fight is gone

Your heart starts to break, and you need someone around now

Just close your eyes while I put my arms around you

And make you unbreakable

She stands in the rain, just to hide it all

If you ever turn around

I won't let you fall down now

I swear I'll find your smile then put my arms around you

And make you unbreakable

You need to know, that somebody's there, all the time, I'd wait in line

And I hope it's yours

I can't walk away 'til your heart knows

That it's beautiful, oh

Oh, I hope you know

It's beautiful

When you lose your way and the fight is gone

Your heart starts to break, and you need someone around now

Just close your eyes while I put my arms around you

And make you unbreakable

She stands in the rain, just to hide it all

If you ever turn around

I won't let you fall down now

I swear I'll find your smile then put my arms around you

And make you unbreakable
