x6 

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

x2 

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
