[English]
I won't stay, I won't stay
If you don't want to, if you don't want to talk
There's no point in insisting
If you no longer want to be here
Now just think of yourself, of how everything will change
But if you need me, you can call
There are things time can't erase
You're one of them, and I won't deny
That you were, that you are, and you will be my end
...
You're always returning when I close the door on you
It’s the not having you close, that’s not love
And I know you better from behind
Than looking at me, begging me for mercy
Give me some time and I’ll be reborn
I'll be happier without you
You asked for space
And I only have space for an ending
But if you need me, you can call
There are things time can't erase
You're one of them, and I won't deny
That you were, that you are, and you will be my end
...
I know I can’t change the past
But I would change everything just to have you by my side
I know I can’t change the past
But I would change everything just to have you by my side
I know I can’t change the past
But I would change everything just to have you by my side
I know I can’t change the past
But I would change everything just to have you by my side
By my side
By my side
...
But if you need me, you can call
...
