[English]

I know that you must feel like facing

With ruin, facing with ruin

I messed it up as always, I'm afraid of losing, I'm afraid of losing

I made you thinking oh so wrong

I made you feeling the worst

And I don't how to get along

With myself when I'm weakened

When I'm weakened

So let's go back to our cocoon

On the blackened afternoon

I see your heart is bleeding too

Let me bleed instead of you

So let's go back to our cocoon

On the blackened afternoon

I see your heart is bleeding too

Let me bleed instead of you

Let me bleed, let me bleed

Let me bleed, let me bleed

Instead of you

I've been always playing

Solid as I'm waving, solid as I'm waving

So I became a liar, I've been underrating

Overestimated

I made it really hard for you

Hard for you to love me

But there's so many things we could do

And all we need is escaping, escaping

So let's go back to our cocoon

On the blackened afternoon

I see your heart is bleeding too

Let me bleed instead of you

So let's go back to our cocoon

On the blackened afternoon

I see your heart is bleeding too

Let me bleed instead of you

Let me bleed, let me bleed

Let me bleed, let me bleed

Let me bleed, let me bleed

Let me bleed, let me bleed

Instead of you
