Lyrics:

[English]

I'm always screaming my lungs out 'til my head starts spinning

Playing 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
