[English]

Sinking in my bed

Staring at the ceiling while I try to sleep

The voices in my head are telling me the meaning of the secrets you keep

I can't forget the words you said they're stuck inside my head

I'm living a lie

I thought I knew everything about you

But this is something new

I didn't expect

I thought I knew all about myself

This is how it ends here

Another me another you

Never felt so weak

Haunted by the feelings and the memories

How could you let me down like this?

I can't forget the words you said

They're stuck inside my head

I'm living a lie

I thought I knew everything about you

But this is something new

I didn't expect it

I thought I knew all about myself

This is how it ends here

Another me another you

I might be blind but my heart can see

This situation doesn't work for me

I might be deaf but my heart can hear

I guess that something's got to give

I thought I knew everything about you

But this is something new

I didn't expect it

I thought I knew all about myself

This is how it ends here

Another me another you
