[English]

I was on fire for you

Where did you go?

I could've died for you

How could you not know?

I was alive with you

But you brought in the cold

Was I being lied to?

Wish I never met you

Started to regret you

My heart just dropped

Thinking about you

My heart just stops

When I'm without you

I was on fire for you

Fire, fire, on fire, fire, on fire, fire, on fire

I was on fire for you

Fire, fire, on fire, fire, on fire

I was on fire for you

Keep breaking me down

Don't know what should I do

When you come around

I'm leaving without you, love

I have no choice

I know I'm being lied to

I just need some time to

Stop thinking about you

My heart just dropped

Thinking about you

My heart just stops

When I'm without you

My heart just dropped

Thinking about you

My heart just stops

When I'm without you

I was on fire for you

Fire, fire, on fire, fire, on fire, fire, on fire

I was on fire for you

Fire, fire, on fire, fire, on fire, fire

I was on fire for you

Fire, fire, on fire, fire, on fire, fire, on fire

I was on fire for you

Fire, fire, on fire, fire, on fire

I was on fire for you
