[English]

Did you get what you want?

Do you know what it is? Do you care?

Is he better than me?

Was it your place or his? Who was there?

Did you think it was wrong?

Do you find that it's worse than it was?

Has it gone on too long?

Do you mind that it hurts me? Because

You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

You're breaking my heart

Was it cracking the code

Or just filling in time? Was that all?

So then why'd you go back

To the scene of the crime? Did he call?

Shall I take further blame

Or another assault on how it was

Then we'll get to the fact

That it's always my fault just because

You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

You're breaking my heart

Don't know what you want

Don't know what you want

Don't know what you want

Don't know what you want

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

Don't know what you want

Don't know what you want
