Lazarev released his debut solo album "Don`t Be Fake" on December 1 2005, selling more than 200,000 copies in the first week. Entirely in English apart from one bonus song, the album comprises of 12 tracks, 8 of which were recorded with the famous Brian Rawling of Metrophonic.
"...singing in English was a challenge for other Russian artists from our side. No one has ever tried it here but we [Smash!!] wanted from the start to do something on a global level and we had always planned to sell our music outside of Russia. The fact that our English language album sold so well was hard to believe, people thought it won’t sell at all!" says Lazarev.
As for theatre, his role in the Broadway-style musical comedy “Borrow a Tenor” brought him five professional theatre awards, making the play biggest success of the 2005 theatre season. In May 2006, Lazarev received the Russian national music TV channel MUZ TV’s award as the Best New Act.

Сергей Лазарев Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couldn't see the way out
Couldn't take my life alone
Till I found you
From a stranger to a lover
I was searching for someone
Through the danger I discovered that you keep me safe from harm
Everytime I close my eyes, I see you
Everywhere you're always in my heart
I'm nothing without you
I'm everything with you
And even when we're worlds apart
Everytime I close my eyes
Coming from a place so cold
Then you gave me shelter
You see the secrets in my soul
I never have to tell you
No you're more than just a lover
And you keep me safe from harm
Everytime I close my eyes, I see you
Everywhere you're always in my heart
I'm nothing without you
I'm everything with you
And even when we're worlds apart
Everytime I close my eyes
Everytime I close my eyes
Everytime when we're apart

Didn't know where I was
I was lost and unsure of my direction
Couldn't see the way out
I couldn't find a way to escape my predicament
Couldn't take my life alone
I couldn't handle my struggles by myself
Till I found you
Until I met you and discovered your love
From a stranger to a lover
We started out as strangers and became lovers
I was searching for someone
I was in search of a companion and soulmate
Through the danger I discovered that you keep me safe from harm
I found safety and protection with you amidst the dangers of the world
Everytime I close my eyes, I see you
You fill my thoughts and dreams even when I'm not with you

You give meaning and purpose to my life
And even when we're worlds apart
Even when we're physically distant from each other
Coming from a place so cold
I came from a tough and harsh background
Then you gave me shelter
You provided me with comfort and a safe haven
You see the secrets in my soul
You understand the deepest parts of me that I don't share with anyone else
I never have to tell you
You just know and understand me without me needing to explain
No you're more than just a lover
You mean more to me than just a romantic partner
And you keep me safe from harm
You protect me from danger and keep me secure
Everytime when we're apart
Whenever we're not physically together
