[English]

I'll take a train to nowhere
This love is a sacrifice
My heart ain't big enough, babe
For your paradise
Oh darling, I'm crazy after all these years
Don't throw away my love, babe
I'm not a lonely child
Tomorrow's such a long time
My dreams are running wild
Oh darling, I'm crazy after all these years
I gave you all my love for free
My tears are full of memories
Give me love, give me all
Baby, catch me when I fall tonight
Bitterblue, bitterblue
Breaking up is hard to do
Bitterblue, you know that I'm too proud to cry
Bitterblue, bitterblue
I can't take my eyes off you
That's no way to say goodbye
I'll be sailing on a rainbow
If you will change your mind
Don't throw away this love, babe
Love is hard to find
Oh darling, I'm crazy after all these years
Come save a little room, babe
In your heart for me
We can make it better
Love is a mystery
Oh darling, I'm crazy after all these years
Oh, I sold my heart to you
I gave you love and heaven too
Now give me love, give me all
Baby, catch me when I fall tonight
Bitterblue, bitterblue
Breaking up is hard to do
Bitterblue, you know that I'm too proud to cry
Bitterblue, bitterblue
I can't take my eyes off you
And that's no way to say goodbye
Bitterblue, bitterblue
Breaking up is hard to do
Bitterblue, you know that I'm too proud to cry
Bitterblue, bitterblue
I can't take my eyes off you
And that's no way to say goodbye
And that's no way to say goodbye
And that's no way to say goodbye
