[English]

SOMETIMES THE TRUTH IS

I’VE GOT NOBODY TO HANG OUT WITH

I’VE GOT NOBODY TO GO WATCH A FILM

ON A SUNDAY, A SUNDAY

(SUNDAY IS FOR LOVERS)

SOMETIMES THE TRUTH IS

DON’T WANNA LIVE ANYMORE LIKE THIS

CAUSE I’VE BEEN GETTING SO LONELY

AND I’VE GOT NOBODY TO HOLD ME

(GOT NO ONE TO HOLD ME)

I TRY TO HIDE IT, PROTECT MY PRIDE

SO SUPERFICIAL, DON’T REALISE

I’VE BEEN SO LONELY ALL OF MY LIFE

DON’T KNOW IF I CAN, I CAN SURVIVE

MAYBE I’M NOT BUILT FOR THIS KIND OF CONNECTION

MAYBE I WAS BORN TO LIVE MY LIFE ALONE

I CAN’T EVEN LOOK AT MY OWN REFLECTION

DON’T WANNA ADMIT THAT I’VE LOST ALL HOPE

CAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD

THEY KNOW I’VE NEVER FELT THIS BAD

EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD

CAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD

SOMETIMES THE TRUTH IS

I WANNA LEAVE EVERYTHING BEHIND

MAYBE IF I DISAPPEAR THEN THE

BLACK HOLE WILL CLEAR INSIDE OF MY MIND

(AS IF THAT’S GONNA FIX IT)

I LIKE TO PRETEND THAT I’M BETTER OFF ON MY OWN

I SPEND THE WEEKEND IN BED

I SEE NONE OF MY FRIENDS, SO I TURN OFF MY PHONE

(CAUSE NO ONE’S GONNA MISS ME!)

I TRY TO HIDE IT, PROTECT MY PRIDE

SO SUPERFICIAL, DON’T REALISE

I’VE BEEN SO LONELY ALL OF MY LIFE

DON’T KNOW IF I CAN, I CAN SURVIVE

MAYBE I’M NOT BUILT FOR THIS KIND OF CONNECTION

WHY IS TO SO HARD TO LET MYSELF GET CLOSE?

I CAN’T EVEN LOOK AT MY OWN REFLECTION

DON’T WANNA ADMIT THAT I’VE LOST ALL HOPE

CAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD

THEY KNOW I’VE NEVER FELT THIS BAD

EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD

CAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD

SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY

WHY I’M ALONE, ALONE AT NIGHT

IN A FOREIGN CITY, DOESN’T EVEN MATTER

IF YOU’RE PRETTY, DOESN’T MATTER WHAT I DO

CAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD

THEY KNOW I’VE NEVER FELT THIS BAD

EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD

CAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M SAD
