[English]

I don’t really understand it

& you don’t wanna talk about it

so where do we go now

what are we doing

I can’t stand the silence so deafening

that look in your eye hits differently

you’ve come to the point where you don’t love me no more

& I can’t give you more

anymore

how do we make it better?

should we admit that I’m not enought enough?

I thought we said forever

it’s cold on the outside of love

can re ignite the fire

or should we admit we’re giving it up

right now I don’t know why

I’m cold on the outside of love

I would rather you were happy

even if that means without me

how long have you felt this

have I been clueless

I can’t stand the silence so deafening

when I’m with you I just feel lonely

there’s thoughts in your head that you don’t tell me no more

& I can’t give you more

anymore

how do we make it better?

should we admit that I’m not enough

I thought we said forever

it’s cold on the outside of love

can re ignite the fire

or should we admit we’re giving it up

right now I don’t know why

I’m cold on the outside of love
