I can't see, cause it's burning deep inside. Like gasoline, a fire running wild. No more fear, cause I'm getting closer now. So unreal, but I like it anyhow. I go faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster. I can't live in a fairytale of lies. And I can't hide from the feeling cause it's right. And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for love. And I can't live in a fairytale of lies. I can feel that you've mesmerized my heart. I feel so free. I'm alive, I'm breaking out. I won't give in, cause I'm proud of all my scars. And I can see I've been wasting too much time. I go faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster. I can't live in a fairytale of lies. And I can't hide from the feeling cause it's right. And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for love. And I can't live in a fairytale of lies. I can't live in a fairytale of lies. And I can't hide from the feeling cause it's right. And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for love. And I can't live in a fairytale of lies. A fairytale of lies.
