[Verse 1]
The perfect story, right from the start
You knew what I wanted to see and played the part
Like the idea, I liked your touch
You sewed your stars into my eyes 'til they were shut

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm wide awake
In a nightmare that I made from my mistakes
Can't escape, no

[Chorus]
If this is the beginning, I don't wanna know how it ends
I'm trying to stop myself from falling
I'm hanging on by a thread
No, I can't let go, oh-oh
It's out of control
If this is the beginning, I don't wanna know how it ends

[Verse 2]
I'm such an artist, up in my head
I tend to paint the things I wanna see instead
You're so romantic, German and kind
It turns out evеrything I like was in my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm wide awake
In a nightmarе that I made from my mistakes
Can't escape, no
[Chorus]
If this is the beginning, I don't wanna know how it ends
I'm trying to stop myself from falling
I'm hanging on by a thread
No, I can't let go, oh-oh
It's out of control
If this is the beginning, I don't wanna know how it ends

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh

[Chorus]
If this is the beginning, I don't wanna know how it ends
I'm trying to stop myself from falling
I'm hanging on by a thread
No, I can't let go, oh-oh
It's out of control
If this is the beginning, I don't wanna know how it ends
