[English]

This is the part where I go

And leave you wet in the rain

I know the things that I've done

Isn't really what you call great?

This is the part where you cry, cry

'Cause you won't see me again

And all the things that I've done

Isn't really what you call great?

I can't breathe, I can't hear, I can't see

When your eyes won't stop looking at me

And the words that you said last night

They will echo through my mind

Said they will echo through my mind

I can't breathe, I can't hear, I can't see

When your eyes won't stop looking at me

And the words that you said last night

They will echo through my mind

Said they will echo through my mind

It could have been you and I

But we let this slip away

I only wish you could see

That some things are not meant to be

Hey!

I could have done so much more

Trying to make this okay

But I wish you could see

That some things are not meant to be

I can't breathe, I can't hear, I can't see

When your eyes won't stop looking at me

And the words that you said last night

They will echo through my mind

Said they will echo through my mind

I can't breathe, I can't hear, I can't see

When your eyes won't stop looking at me

And the words that you said last night

They will echo through my mind

Said they will echo through my mind

...

They will echo through my mind

Said they will echo through my mind

I know I let you down

Some things last

But this won't do

I can't breathe, I can't hear, I can't see

When your eyes won't stop looking at me

And the words that you said last night

They will echo through my mind

Said they will echo through my mind

I can't breathe, I can't hear, I can't see

When your eyes won't stop looking at me

And the words that you said last night

They will echo through my mind

Said they will echo through my mind

...
