[English]
I'm bouncing, bouncing, bouncing
Holes in the night
Stars are falling, falling, falling
And crashing onto my roof
It still kind of hurts
When I see you again, but
I'll never come back
No matter what you tell me
I'm bouncing, bouncing, bouncing
Holes in the night
Stars are falling, falling, falling
And crashing onto my roof
It still kind of hurts
When I see you again, but
I'll never come back
No matter what you tell me
Chalk outlines on the sidewalk
A crime scene between us, like CSI
You said "Sorry, baby," for the first time
Should've known that was the end of us
You put a period after the sentence
Like you never could’ve known me
So I change perfumes
And buy new clothes
I get that urge again
I want the world's end
Haha, I think that’s it
I shoot for the stars
I'm bouncing, bouncing, bouncing
Holes in the night
Stars are falling, falling, falling
And crashing onto my roof
It still kind of hurts
When I see you again, but
I'll never come back
No matter what you tell me
I'm bouncing, bouncing, bouncing
Holes in the night
Stars are falling, falling, falling
And crashing onto my roof
It still kind of hurts
When I see you again, but
I'll never come back
No matter what you tell me
I see the star shards
Like glitter on my skin
Learned that what doesn’t kill me—only makes me look cooler
Would you still catch a bullet for me?
’Cause now your weapon’s in my hand
I put a period after the sentence
Like I never knew you
And then I change perfumes
And buy new clothes
I get that urge again
I want the world's end
Haha, I think that’s it
I shoot for the stars
I'm bouncing, bouncing, bouncing
Holes in the night
Stars are falling, falling, falling
And crashing onto my roof
It still kind of hurts
When I see you again, but
I'll never come back
No matter what you tell me
I'm bouncing, bouncing, bouncing
Bouncing, bouncing, bouncing
It still kind of hurts
When I see you again, but
I'll never come back
No matter what you tell me
I'm bouncing, bouncing, bouncing
I'm bouncing, bouncing, bouncing
Bouncing, bouncing, bouncing
