[English]

When you wake up

Turn your radio on

And you'll hear this simple song

That I made up

That I made up for you

When you're driving

Turn the radio up

'Cause I can't sing loud enough

Hard these days

To get my message through

If time is all I have

I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back

It's what the broken-hearted do

Tired of talking to an empty space

Of silences keeping me awake

When you marry

And you look around

I'll be somewhere in that crowd

Torn up, that it isn't me

When we're older

And the memories fade

I know I'll still feel the same

For as long as I live

And if time is all I have

I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back

It's what the broken-hearted do

tired of talking to an empty space

Of silences keeping me awake

Won't you say my name

Please just say my name

If time is all I have

I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back

It's what the broken-hearted do

tired of talking to an empty space

Of silences keeping me awake

If time is all I have

I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back

It's what the broken-hearted do

tired of talking to an empty space

Of silences keeping me awake

Won't you say my name

When the song is over
