Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Do I look lonely?

I see the shadows on my face

People have told me

I don't look the same

Maybe I lost weight

I'm playing hooky

With the best of the best, pull my heart out my chest

So that you can see it too

I'm walking the long road

Watching the sky fall

The lace in your dress tingles my neck

How do I live?

The death of a bachelor

O-o-oh! Letting the water fall

The death of a bachelor

O-o-oh! Seems so fitting for

Happily ever after, ooh

How could I ask for more?

A lifetime of laughter

At the expense of the death of a bachelor

I'm cutting my mind off

Feels like my heart is going to burst

Alone at a table for two

And I just wanna be served

And when you think of me

Am I the best you've ever had?

Share one more drink with me

Smile even though you're sad

I'm walking the long road

Watching the sky fall

The lace in your dress tingles my neck

How do I live?

The death of a bachelor

O-o-oh! Letting the water fall

The death of a bachelor

O-o-oh! Seems so fitting for

Happily ever after

How could I ask for more?

A lifetime of laughter

At the expense of the death of a bachelor

...

The death of a bachelor

O-o-oh! Letting the water fall

The death of a bachelor

O-o-oh! Seems so fitting for

Happily ever after

How could I ask for more?

A lifetime of laughter

At the expense of the death of a bachelor

...
