[English]

That's all

There's no other way

It's over

Good luck

I have nothing to say

Just words

And what I feel

Won't change

Everything you want to give me

Is too much

Is heavy

There's no peace

Everything you want from me

Unreal

Expectations

Disloyal

That's it

There's no way

It's over

Good luck

I have nothing left to say

It's only words

And what I feel

Won't change

Everything you want to give me

Is too much

It's heavy

There's no peace

Everything you want from me

Unreal

Expectations

Disloyal

...

Even if you hold on tight

I want you to heal

From that person

Who advises you

There's a disconnect

See it from this perspective

There are so many special people

Now even if you hold yourself

I want you to get cured

From this person who advises you

There is a disconnection

See through this point of view

There are so many special people in the world

So many special people in the world, in the world

All you want, all you want

Everything you want to give me

Is too much

It's heavy

There's no peace

Everything you want from me

Unreal

Expectations

Disloyal

Now we're falling (falling)

Falling (falling)

Into the night (into the night)

...

Falling (falling)

Falling (falling)

Into the night (a good encounter is between two)

Now we're falling (falling)

Falling (falling)

Into the night (into the night)

Falling (falling)

Falling (falling)

Into the night

...
