[English]

Did I drive you away?

I know what you'll say

You say, "Oh, sing one we know"

...

But I promise you this

I'll always look out for you

Yeah, that's what I'll do

I say, "Ohh"

I say, "Ohh"

...

My heart is yours

It's you that I hold on to

Yeah, that's what I do

And I know, I was wrong

But I won't let you down

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I will, yes, I will

I said, "Ohh"

...

I cry, "Ohh"

Yeah, I saw sparks

Yeah, I saw sparks

And I saw sparks

Yeah, I saw sparks

Sing it out

...
