I fall at the thought,
Of us falling apart
But I swore never to use my head,
Before I use my heart
And you'll keep me breathing,
Grant me peace through the night
My dear, I hope your dreams are sweet as real life

Cause I don't have time to waste
If all that you're looking for is to chase,
Don't make me be just another mistake
But still it's a chance that I’m willing to take for you
For you, it’s all for you
