Took a ride to the end of the lane Where no one ever goes Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know But the pain and the longing's the same When you're dying Now I'm lost, and I'm screaming for help alone Relax, take it easy For there is nothing that we can do Relax, take it easy Blame it on me or blame it on you It's as if I'm scared It's as if I'm terrified It's as if I'm scared It's as if I'm playing with fire Scared It's as if I'm terrified Are you scared? Are we playing with fire? Relax (Love) There is an answer to the darkest times It's clear we don't understand it, but the last thing on my mind Is to leave you I believe that we're in this together Don't scream; there are so many roads left Relax, take it easy For there is nothing that we can do Relax, take it easy Blame it on me or blame it on you It's as if I'm scared It's as if I'm terrified It's as if I'm scared It's as if I'm playing with fire (Relax) Scared It's as if I'm terrified Are you scared? Are we playing with fire? Relax Relax Same day I want to dress for wedding Same day while I won't married What happened? He's go meeted another girl While he was married another girl, I was very, very sad I can talk like God take my legs How he's made a different lady, I no believe After one month I am send out to balcony Some bomb come for my eyes, my eyes gone My eyes gone in bomb, now I have only one eyes I am sad, until now I no married any man after
