[English]

This is the end, you know

Lady, the plans we had went all wrong

We ain't nothing but fight and shout and tears

We got to a point I can't stand

I've had it to the limit; I can't be your man

I ain't more than a minute away from walking

We can't cry the pain away

We can't find a need to stay

I slowly realize there's nothing on our side

Out of my life, out of my mind

Out of the tears, we can't deny

We need to swallow all our pride

And leave this mess behind

Out of my head, out of my bed

Out of the dreams we had, they're bad

Tell them it's me who made you sad

Tell them the fairytale gone bad

Another night and I bleed

They all make mistakes and so did we

But we did something we can never turn back right

Find a new one to fool

Leave and don't look back, I won't follow

We have nothing left, it's the end of our time

We can't cry the pain away

We can't find a need to stay

There's no more rabbits in my hat to make things right

Out of my life, out of my mind

Out of the tears, we can't deny

We need to swallow all our pride

And leave this mess behind

Out of my head, out of my bed

Out of the dreams we had, they're bad

Tell them it's me who made you sad

Tell them the fairytale gone bad

Out of my life, out of my mind

Out of the tears, we can't deny

We need to swallow all our pride

And leave this mess behind

Out of my head, out of my bed

Out of the dreams we had, they're bad

Tell them it's me who made you sad

Tell them the fairytale gone bad

Tell them the fairytale gone bad

Tell them the fairytale gone bad
