[English]

To be there when you smile

To be there when you cry

To be there when you're lonely

To be there when you're sad

To be there when you're mad

Just to be there for you

You said you'll always be mine

And that we'll be just fine

And that I am the only

Tried so hard to be good

But you've misunderstood all my feelings for you

But tonight I'm the funeral face

And the funeral face is lonely

Yes tonight I'm the funeral face

And the funeral face doesn't smile

But tonight I'm the funeral face

And the funeral face is lonely

Yes tonight I'm the funeral face

I may be drunk, but I just want you to know

I'm reeling walking down the line

Searching for your love

Searching up in vain for you

I'm reeling walking down the line

Searching for your love

Searching up in vain for you

66 inches reelin' to the left then reelin' to the right

And I'm back at the start

66 inches reeleng to the left then back to the right

I'm drunk but I don't give a fk

66 inches reelin' to the left then reelin' to the right

And I'm back at the start

66 inches reeleng to the left then back to the right

I'm drunk but I don't give a fk

66 inches reelin' to the left then reelin' to the right

And I'm back at the start

66 inches reeleng to the left then back to the right

I'm drunk but I don't give a fk

66 inches reelin' to the left then reelin' to the right

And I'm back at the start

66 inches reeleng to the left then back to the right

I'm drunk but I don't give a fk
