[English]

Once more I'll say goodbye to you

Things happen but we don't really know why

If it's supposed to be like this

Why do most of us ignore the chance to miss?

Oh yeah

Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears

I'm not feeling this situation

Run away, try to find that safe place you can hide

It's the best place to be when you're feeling like

Me (me)

Yeah (yeah)

All these things I hate revolve around me (me)

Yeah (yeah)

Just back off before I snap

...

Once more you tell those lies to me

Why can't you just be straight up with honesty? (honesty)

When you say those things in my ear

Why do you always tell me what you wanna hear? (wanna hear)

Oh yeah (yeah)

Wear your heart on your sleeve

Make things hard to believe

I'm not feeling this situation

Run away, try to find that safe place you can hide

It's the best place to be when you're feeling like

Me (me)

Yeah (yeah)

All these things I hate revolve around me (me)

Yeah (yeah)

Just back off before I snap

And you'll see (me)

Me (me)

All these things I hate revolve around me (me)

Yeah (yeah)

Just back off before I snap

...

Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears

I'm not feeling this situation

Run away, try to find that safe place you can hide

It's the best place to be when you're feeling like me

(It's the best place to be when you're)

Me (me)

Yeah (yeah)

All these things I hate revolve around me (me)

Yeah (yeah)

Just back off before I snap

And you'll see (me)

Me (me)

All these things I hate revolve around me (me)

Yeah (yeah)

Just back off before I snap
