[English]

You've been on the ledge, but no one knows you're lost

Trina tell a friend, but something makes you stop

Even in your head, it's hard to have a thought, oh

And all the things that used to make you smile have gone, oh

I'll stay with you, stay by your side

Together we will hold on, hold on for the ride

We don't need to speak, just look up at the lights

With me now

I think you're wonderful

If you could only see you through my eyes

And know that I will stay with you, stay with you, oh

Stay with you, won't let you go

I think you're wonderful, so wonderful tonight

When you've been tryna hold the tears back from your eyes

And every day just feels like it gets harder each time

I'll stay with you, stay by your side

Together we will hold on, hold on for the ride

We don't need to speak, just look up at the lights

With me now

I think you're wonderful

If you could only see you through my eyes (my eyes)

And know that I will stay with you, stay with you, oh

Stay with you, won't let you go

I think you're wonderful, so wonderful tonight

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

I'll stay with you, stay by your side

Together we will hold on, hold on for the ride

We don't need to speak, just look up at the lights

With me now

I think you're wonderful

If you could only see you through my eyes (my eyes)

And know that I will stay with you, stay with you, oh

Stay with you, won't let you go

I think you're wonderful, so wonderful tonight
