I was solo building a castle that I wanted to turn into an empire

It has been four long years

But you were here

Whispering in my ears

That you'll stay, no more nights near

That open window, telling the solitude, the silence, that I, I'll always stay.

I didn't expect it

I didn't plan it

It happened without warning

I loved it and you, you, you loved it

I am not going to lie; I would have liked a warming.

That year was new, it was special, it was you

I was scared but you were too

So, you bent over me

And I told you: we can't be friends, can't you see?

You lit up my house in fire

I tried to extinguish it with desire

It only made it burn more

You told me that I was your core.

I was solo building a castle that I wanted to turn into an empire

Right when I met you, with you

Cause that year, that night

You were my princess, and I was your knight.

And now I want you to know

Things that you already know

Girl, I know you love me

You turned out the lights on three: one, two, three.

I believe that you're a ghost

Stealing without being seen

Girl, you stole my heart

But I don't mind, what's mine is yours.

I don't know what to do

When you're not around I'm empty

Please, tell me what to do

When you're not around I feel hefty.

You don't know what to do

Because you didn't expect it

You didn't plan it

It happened and I made it special to let you know that you deserved it.

You believe that I'm a fling

Because I leave in the morning before you are awake

You know, I have responsibilities

One of which being to let everyone know, that you stole my heart, in all around the world's cities. 

I heard your dreams speaking

That you wanted, with me, to get married

I've seen your eyes seeking

For my hand around waist, that alarm button, reaching (so we can one more morning together snooze).

I opened wide my arms

And you opened wide yours

You melt in me

And I melt in us. 

If it happens that you don't love me

It is because you didn't realized it yet

And if, somehow, I stop loving you

I'd be lying to myself because no one can stop loving you. 

That year was new, it was special, it was you

I was scared but you were too

So, you bent over me

And I told you: we can't be friends, can't you see? 

You lit up my house in fire

I tried to extinguish it with desire

It only made it burn more

You told me that I was your core. 

I was solo building a castle that I wanted to turn into an empire

Right when I met you, with you

Cause that year, that night

You were my princess, and I was your knight. 

And now I want you to know

Things that you already know

Girl, I know you love me

You turned out the lights on three: one, two, three.
