[English]

It's over now, we lost our way in the dark

I don't know where to go when you're gone

It's too late to tell you, you're where I belong

Still trembling now, I'm scared to move on

The tears I cried, no matter how hard I try

Can't change that, all we had is long gone

Your heart can see that this love is enough

And I'd give everything for one more try

You know I wanna be your destiny, so please just say hello

This love is haunting me, and I just need to know

And all the memories are keeping me awake at night

I'm still not over you, there's nothing I could do

You know I wanna be your destiny, so please just say hello

This love is haunting me, and I just need to know

And all the memories are keeping me awake at night

I'm still not over you, there's nothing I could do

...

The tears I cried, no matter how hard I try

Can't change that, all we had is long gone

Your heart can see that this love is enough

And I'd give everything for one more try

You know I wanna be your destiny, so please just say hello

This love is haunting me, and I just need to know

And all the memories are keeping me awake at night

I'm still not over you, there's nothing I could do

You know I wanna be your destiny, so please just say hello

This love is haunting me, and I just need to know

And all the memories are keeping me awake at night

I'm still not over you, there's nothing I could do

You know I wanna be your destiny, so please just say hello

This love is haunting me, and I just need to know

And all the memories are keeping me awake at night

I'm still not over you, there's nothing I could do

You know I wanna be your destiny, so please just say hello

This love is haunting me, and I just need to know

And all the memories are keeping me awake at night

I'm still not over you, there's nothing I could do

...
