[English]

I feel insane every single time

I'm asked to compromise

'Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways

And that's the way it stays

So how long did I expect love

To outweigh ignorance

By that look on your face I may

Have forced the scale to tip

I'm not insane

I'm not insane

I'm not insane

I'm not not insane

(Mother)

Come back to me

It's almost easy

(Said it all)

Come back again

It's almost easy

Shame pulses through my heart

From the things I've done to you

It's hard to face but the fact remains

That this is nothing new

I left you bound and tied

With suicidal memories

Selfish beneath the skin but

Deep inside I'm not insane

I'm not insane

I'm not insane

I'm not insane

I'm not not insane

(Mother)

Come back to me

It's almost easy

(Said it all)

Come back again

It's almost easy

(You'll learn your lesson)

Come back to me

It's almost easy

(But first you'll fall)

Come back again

It's almost easy

Now that I've lost you

It kills me to say

(Hurts to say)

I've tried to hold on

As you've slowly slipped away

I'm losing the fight

I've treated you so wrong

Now let me make it right (make it alright)

I'm not insane

I'm not insane

(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

I'm not insane

I'm not not insane

(Mother)

Come back to me

It's almost easy

(Said it all)

Come back again

It's almost easy

(You'll learn your lesson)

Come back to me

It's almost easy

(But still you'll fall)

Come back again

It's almost easy
