[English]
I don't wanna waste you away
Everything you do is fake
How I'm supposed to feel when it's blurry?
You don't seem to see that it's hurting
Never know when I am not around
I know your good intentions
But you seem to hide them
Conversation's running out of time
I know your good intentions
But I need a promise
Conversation's running out of time
(Good intentions)
(Good, good intentions)
(Good intentions)
(Good, good intentions)
(Good intentions)
(Good, good intentions)
(Good intentions)
(Good, good intentions)
What if I told you to leave?
Would you run back to me?
I could just throw the door in your face now
That's the consequence if you stay out
Better hurry up and speak your mind
I know your good intentions
But you seem to hide them
Conversation's running out of time
I know your good intentions
But I need a promise
Conversation's running out of time
(Good intentions)
(Good, good intentions)
(Good intentions)
(Good, good intentions)
(Good intentions)
(Good, good intentions)
(Good intentions)
(Good, good intentions)
