[English]

Lately I've been losing

these nights one more

Heartbreak and I'm done with this

Shadows on the ceiling, they don't fight

But I still argue for the hell of it

I'm tryin' my hardest now

I feel you reaching out

I don't wanna be the one that's always on the edge

You found me all messed up

You found me down on my luck

So lost

But then I woke up in love

When I was chasing highs

You went and saved my life

You picked me up

Thank God I woke up in love

With you

Thought I was lost, but then I woke up in love

With you

Thought I was lost, but then I woke up in love

Sometimes all those dark days

Well, they try to find me but that's when I lean on you

Whatever happens, my troubles behind me 'cause

Your love's gonna see me through

Nothing can bring me down

I feel you reaching out

You're pulling me back when I'm about to reach the edge

You found me all messed up

You found me down on my luck

So lost

But then I woke up in love

When I was chasing highs

You went and saved my life

You picked me up

Thank God I woke up in love

With you

Thought I was lost, but then I woke up in love

With you

Thought I was lost, but then I woke up in love

Then I woke up in love

And then I woke up, I woke up in love

So lost

But then I woke up in love

So lost

But then I woke up in love

With you

Thought I was lost, but then I woke up in love
