[English]

Words like a loaded gun (oh oh, oh oh)

Shot out from a fire tongue (oh oh, oh oh)

...

Love lost from a fight that was won (oh oh, oh oh)

And I can see you breaking down

The end to a falling out

I got pride, you can't hold your breath

We'll crash down like an avalanche

...

Look out now, don't take one more step

...

We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche

I never wanted to turn out this way (oh oh, oh oh)

Now forever feels like yesterday (oh oh, oh oh)

Sorry's something that I just can't say (oh oh, oh oh)

Then you see me breaking down

The end to a falling out, yeah

...

I got pride, you can't hold your breath

(Even if we survive)

We'll crash down like an avalanche

(Crash down, crash down)

Look out now, don't take one more step

(Even if we survive)

We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche

(Crash down, crash down)

Oh

We'll crash down, yeah

Oh

...

Like an avalanche

I got pride, you can't hold your breath

...

We'll crash down like an avalanche, oh

I got pride, you can't hold your breath

(Even if we survive)

We'll crash down like an avalanche

(Crash down, crash down)

Look out now, don't take one more step

(Even if we survive)

We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche

(Crash down, crash down)

Oh

...

Crash down, crash down

Oh

Just like an avalanche

...
