[English]
I'm always screaming my lungs out 'til my head starts spinningPlaying my songs is the way I cope with life
Won't keep my voice down
Know the words I speak are the thoughts I think out loud
I like to keep things honest
I'm a safe bet like your life's staked on it, for real
I'd hate to keep you all wondering
I'm constant like the seasons, so I will never be forgotten, man
Let's leave no words unspoken, and save regrets for the broken
Will you even look back when you think of me?
All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high, and your head down low
Keep your hopes up high, and your head down low
Still got something left to prove
It tends to keep things movin' while everyone around me says
My last days are looming overhead
But what the hell do they think they know?
I keep my head above the water, while they drown in the undertow
Let's leave no words unspoken, and save regrets for the broken
Will you even look back when you think of me?
All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high, and your head down low
All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high, and your head down low
If you take it from me, live your life for yourself
'Cause when it's all said and done, you don't need anyone else
Come on
So let's get back to when everything seemed perfect
Not a worry in the world, tell me was this all worth it?
I get what I want, so everyone's always judging me
I'm not afraid of anything, I've got the whole world in front of me
All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high, and your head down low
All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high, and your head down low
Keep your heads down low, keep your heads down low
Keep your hopes up high, and your heads down low
