[English]

I moved to the city, I'm missin' my mother

The days are all blurrin', one into the other

One year has passed, I pay all my friends

I love what I do and I hate how it ends

I have no defenses, I don't own a gun

I find myself wishin' I could sleep with one

I don't trust nobody, I'm never alone

But I'm always alone

My soul burns

And my heart yearns

For a certain kind of love

For a certain kind of love

I see my future, it's sparklin' and bright

But I don't see a world where I turn 25

No one wants to hear that, I'd rather just lie

Tits out, I'm havin' the time of my life

'Cause when I am honest, it's horrible lines

These ugly confessions, they torture my mind

The book I am writin', I don't want to read

It's so sad to me

My soul burns

And my heart yearns

For a certain kind of love

For a certain kind of love

I moved to the city, I'm missin' my mother

The days are all blurrin', one into the other

Just one year has passed and I pay all my friends and

I love what I do and I hate how it ends and

I have no defenses, I don't own a gun and

I find myself wishin' I could sleep with one and

I don't trust nobody, I'm never alone and

I'm always alone and

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-ooh, ooh
