[English]

We still live in the same town, well, don't we?

But I don't see you around anymore

I go to all the same places, not even a trace of you

Your days are numbered at twenty-four

And I'm getting bored waiting 'round for you

We're not getting any younger and I

Won't look back 'cause there's no use

It's time to move forward

I feel no sympathy, you live inside a cave

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time for feeling sorry

...

Well, I try not to think of what might happen

When your reality, it finally cuts through

Well, as for me, I got out and I'm on the road

The worst part is that this, this could be you

And you know it too, you can't run from your shame

You're not getting any younger and time

Keeps passing by but you wave it away

It's time to roll over

I feel no sympathy, you live inside a cave

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time for feeling sorry

And all the best lies

They are told with fingers tied

So cross them tight

Won't you promise me tonight

If it's the last thing you do, you'll get out

I feel no sympathy, you live inside a cave

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time, got no time

I feel no sympathy, you live inside a cave

You barely get by, the rest of us are trying

There's no need to apologize

I've got no time

...

I've got no time for feeling sorry

I've got no time for feeling sorry

...
