[English]

Saturday on 65

on the long way home tonight.

[music]

Headlights blurry in my eyes.

Trying not to stop and cry. Trying to

stay between the lines.

[music and singing] I was only from the

start.

Showed you all of my worst parts.

[music] Stars written in the stars.

Just to watch it all go dark. [music]

just to watch you fall apart.

But into every lie.

You promised that we'd always be

together.

But now I know you know better.

You were the wave [music] I let

[singing] pull me under. Now I'm

sinking. As for [music]

another breath the we had [singing]

before.

You were my everything. Now you're

[music] not anything anymore. You are

the one by the mart.

[music]

Cuz you're I was born for.

You are my everything. Now you're not

anything anymore. [music]

Feel a little bit insane. Cuz everywhere

I look, I see your name. Gave back my

heart, but you're still in my brain. I

don't know why

you the way I live from the under

[music] the we had before.

You are my everything. You're not

anything. [music]

You are the one.

You was born for

you. everything.

[music]

[music] It's like we never knew each

other. You were the [singing] wave of

it. Pull me under. [music]

Now I'm sinking, gasping for another

breath of what we had before. [music]

Heat. Heat.

[music]

[music] Heat. Heat. Heat.

[music]

Heat. Heat. N.

lover.

Nothing lover. It's like we [music]

never knew each other.
