[English]

What's the point of waking up when can't even remember my name?

What's the point of waking up when there's nothing more than a frame?

I don't know, I don't know

It's getting harder to hide

I don't know, I don't know

I feel like I'm slowly beginning to die

Gave up everything I got for you

You bury me alive and I can't break through

Gave up everything, you're my only truth

And I hate myself because of you

You killed the beat of my heart

You killed the beat of my heart

'Cause you killed the beat of my heart

You killed the beat of my heart

Guess everyone's born with a clean slate

But could you fill my head with some hate

I feel like giving up everyday cause there's nothing more left to say

I don't know, I don't know

It's getting harder to hide

I don't know, I don't know

I feel like I'm slowly beginning to die

Gave up everything I've got for you

You bury me alive and I can't break through

Gave up everything, you're my only truth

And I hate myself because of you

You killed the beat of my heart

You killed the beat of my heart

'Cause you killed the beat of my heart

You killed the beat of my heart

You kicked me down, you held me under

The waves grew taller while it thundered

I'm locked up, I'm caged

Only a number

You kicked me down, you held me under

Gave up everything I've got for you

You bury me alive and I can't break through

(You kicked me down, you held me under)

Gave up everything, you're my only truth

And I hate myself because of you

You killed the beat of my heart

You killed the beat of my heart

'Cause you killed the beat of my heart

You killed the beat of my heart
