[English]

I wanna focus on you and forget my past

You've been on my to-do list and we can change that

I just wanna be your cure

I just wanna be, wanna be

Be the one who's here for ya

I just wanna be, wanna be

I can be your nirvana if you wanna

Breathe me like marijuana if you gotta

I can be your shoulder to cry on

Rely on

I just wanna be your cure

I just wanna be, wanna be yours

Don't wanna be a shrink or tell you what to think

Or tell you how to feel

But I can be your root

So carve it in a tree

And we can make it real

I just wanna be your cure

I just wanna be, wanna be

Be the one who's here for ya (here for ya)

I just wanna be, wanna be

I can be your nirvana if you wanna

Breathe me like marijuana if you gotta

I can be your shoulder to cry on

Rely on

I just wanna be your cure

I just wanna be, wanna be yours

Boys don't cry

But that's a lie

'Cause you're the only one that's saving me from my life

I can be your shoulder to cry on

To die on

I just wanna be your cure

I can be your nirvana

Believe me when I say I wanna

I can be your shoulder to cry on

Rely on

I just wanna be your cure

I just wanna be, wanna be

I just wanna be your cure

I just wanna be, wanna be yours
