[English]

Waking up, feeling the taste of our fight last night.

Breaking up, making a mess of an all good life.

And now that you're gone.

I'm thinking about old times.

I've waited so long.

For this to be over.

And now that I'm free from all the chains you've kept me in, I'll be okay.

Now that I've found the only way to get myself home again.

I'll be okay.

Moving on, seeing it all in a whole new light.

Thinking of reasons to make it all right.

And now that you're gone.

I'm thinking 'bout old times.

I've waited so long.

For this to be over.

And now that I'm free from all the chains you've kept me in, I'll be okay.

Now that I've found the only way to get myself home again.

I'll be okay.

I'll let you know I'll be all right.

Now that I've found the only way to get myself home again.

I'll be okay.

I'm biding my time.

It's my time to shine through.

I made up my mind.

I'm waiting to find you.

Now that I'm free from all the chains you've kept me in, I'll be okay.

Now that I've found the only way to get myself home again.

I'll be okay.

I'll let you know I'll be all right.

Now that I've found the only way to get myself home again.

I'll be okay.
