Black rose and a radio fire
It's so contagious
It's just like something changing my mind
I'm gonna take what's evil

Your cover melting inside
With wide eyes you tremble
Kissing over and over again
Your God knows his faithful

I try, to digest my pride
But passion's grip I fear
When I climb, into shallow vats of wine
I think I almost hear, but it's not clear

You are the one
You'll never be alone again
You're more than in my head, you're more

You are the one
You'll never be alone again
You're more than in my head, you're more

Spin faster shouting out loud
You can't steal what's paid for
It's just something hurting again
Murdersome, she's painful

You so believe your own lies
On my skin your fingers
Runaway until the last time
We're gonna lose forever

When you try, don't try to say you won't
Try to crawl into my head
When you cry, 'cause it's all built up inside
Your tears already said, already said

You are the one
You'll never be alone again
You're more than in my head, you're more

You are the one
You'll never be alone again
You're more than in my head, you're more

You'll never be alone again

You are the one
You'll never be alone again
You're more than in my head, you're more

You are the one
You'll never be alone again
You're more than in my head, you're more

Alone again
