Lyrics & Translation

[English] Far away from here
Without much reason
You left me yesterday
The end of the season
I don't want to know anymore
We grew apart
You won't have me anymore
And everything's over

I hope you'll suffer
And have trouble sleeping
Meanwhile, I'll be writing
For tomorrow, the future (for tomorrow, the future)
For tomorrow, the future (for tomorrow, the future)
Gone for a night
Just to talk to her
Down a corridor
You wanted to go
Hypocrisy for a night
The glasses are broken
Hope has flown, our hearts shattered

I hope you'll suffer
And have trouble sleeping
Meanwhile, I'll be writing
For tomorrow, the future (for tomorrow, the future)
For tomorrow, the future (for tomorrow, the future)

Left alone in the street
I'm searching for my way
I can't find it anymore
Feels so far away
I've forgotten you
You're not hurting me anymore
And I'm leaving to travel
Thinking about tomorrow

I hope you'll suffer
And have trouble sleeping
Meanwhile, I'll be writing
For tomorrow, the future (for tomorrow, the future)
For tomorrow, the future (for tomorrow, the future)
Gone far behind
Without much reason
You left me yesterday
The end of the season
