[English]

White walls (filled with nothing but)

Nervous paces (all around I see)

Something's off (inside of myself)

I see it in their faces

Say anything, say anything

Say anything that can make this all okay

Take it away, take it away

Take away all of this emptiness I feel

'Cause I will never find another you

Another you

Another you

I still hear you in this house (whispering)

I still feel you in my bones (in these veins)

And like the portraits in the halls (can't help but think)

I wish you were staring back at me (but you're gone)

Say anything, say anything

Say anything that can make this all okay

Take it away, take it away

Take away all of this emptiness I feel

'Cause I will never find another

I may never find myself

I will never find another you

...

So I'll carry you with me

In my dreams, my memory

So I'll carry you with me (you'll always be with me)

In my dreams, my memory

So I'll carry you with me

You'll always be my memory

Say anything, say anything

Say anything that can make this all okay

Take it away, take it away

Take away all of this emptiness I feel

'Cause I will never find another

I may never find myself

And I will never find another you

...
