Play me on repeat, 끝없이 in your head

Anytime it hurts, play another verse

I can be your sanctuary

Know I'm the only one right now (Now)

I will love you more when it all burns down

More than power, more than gold (Yeah)

Yeah, you gave me your heart, now I'm here for your soul

I'm thе only one who'll love your sins

Feel the way my voicе gets underneath your skin

Listen 'cause I'm preachin' to the choir

Can I get the mic' a little higher?

Gimme your desire

I can be the star you rely on

내 황홀의 취해 you can't look away (Hey)

Don't you know I'm here to save you

Now we runnin' wild

Yeah, I'm all you need, I'ma be your idol

Uh, 빛이나는 fame, 계속 외쳐, I'm your idol

Thank you for the pain 'cause it got me going viral

Uh, yeah, 나지 않는 fever, makin' you a believer

나를 왜 넌 존재하는 아이돌

Don't let it show, keep it all inside

The pain and the shame, keep it outta sight

Your obsession feeds our connection

이 순간 give me all your attention

You know I'm the only one who'll love your sins

...

Feel the way my voice gets underneath your skin

Listen 'cause I'm preachin' to the choir

Can I get the mic a little higher?

Gimme your desire

I can be the star you rely on

내 황홀의 취해, you can't look away (Yeah)

Don't you know I'm here to save you

Now we runnin' wild

Be your idol

Living in your mind now

Too late 'cause you're mine now

I'll make you free

When you're all part of me

(Listen 'cause I'm) preaching to the choir

(Now) Can I get the mic a little higher?

Gimme your desire

Watch me set your world on fire

내 황홀의 취해, you can't look away

No one is coming to save you

Now we runnin' wild

You're down on your knees, I'ma be your idol
