[English]

It's hard to see

That you wanna be free

Cause I don't love you

In the way that you want me to

Cut from devotion, lost in an ocean

Out of emotion for you

I'm a machine

An emotional being

Since I was a teen

Cut my feelings off clean, clean

It's no excuse

To treat me like you do

My perception is skewed

Cause I know what you went through

Cut from devotion, lost in an ocean

Out of emotion for you

I'm a machine

An emotional being

Since I was a teen

Cut my feelings off clean, clean

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Did you ever truly love me?

(Did you ever truly love me?)

Were you just too scared to be free?

(Are you just too scared to be free?)

My God is dying silently (My God is dying silently)

Nobody believes, nobody believes

I'm a machine

An emotional being

Since I was a teen

Cut my feelings off clean, clean

I'm a machine

(Should I pretend that you didn't exist?)

An emotional being

(Should I act like you're somebody I miss?)

Since I was a teen

(A velvet glove around an iron fist)

Cut my feelings off clean, clean

(If you wanna survive, then ignorance is bliss)

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh
