[English]

Honestly, what will become of me?

I don't like reality

It's way too clear to me

But really life is dandy

We are what we don't see

We miss everything daydreaming

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end, come to an

Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end, come to an

Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling I always stop at exits

Wondering if I'll stay

Young and restless

Living this way I stress less

I want to pull away when the dream dies

The pain sets it and I don't cry

I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end, come to an

Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end, come to an

Why do all good things come to an end?

Dogs were whistling a new tune

Barking at the new moon

Hoping it would come soon

So that they could die

Dogs were whistling a new tune

Barking at the new moon

Hoping it would come soon

So that they could die

Die, die, die

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Flames to dust

Lovers to friends

Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end, come to an end

Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end, come to an end

Why do all good things come to an end
