Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I've been thinking

Was it all a different scene in my head?

Ooh

You've got powers

You instructed all the demons instead

Mmm

Ooh, everyone sees a man so tall, so perfect, they said

Yeah, you've got ambition

I thought we would grow in time, I wasn't prepared

Now, am I forgiven?

Oh

You look like you're so damn scared

I don't really think you care

You know, you know that our time is through

It's over when I leave, you said

We're never gonna meet again

You played your game, it was all for you

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

It's all for you

Is it always just a stand-in for a man that can't heal?

Ooh

I've got arrows, am I shooting through the sky for us still

Na, na, na

And I have a spent a year, wondering if I had all of the blame

Ah, yeah

And love's a bitter fruit if you choose to remain in your shame

But you couldn't listen, no

You look like you're so damn scared

I don't really think you care

You know, you know that our time is through

It's over when I leave, you said

We're never gonna meet again

You played your game, it was all for you

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

It's all for you

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

It's all for you

Kneeling at your temple, love was accidental

Singing bruises

I was foolish

Thinking I was careful, losing every battle

Singing bruises

I was foolish

No hands, no rush

No touch, no crime

No blood, no love

I'm doing it all for you

No hands, no rush

No touch, no crime

No blood, no love

I'm doing it all for you

You look like you're so damn scared

I don't really think you care

(Don't care)

You know, you know that our time is through

(You know that our time is)

It's over when I leave, you said

We're never gonna meet again

You played your game, it was all for you

I said, so long

I said, so long

I said, so long

It's all for you

I said, so long

I said, so long

I said, so long

It's all for you
