Lyrics & Translation

[English]

If you are gone

I would not feel so sad

Cause deep down I know

No one will ever be gone

Oh, you may say this is the end

Like I never was your friend

And you go so far away

That's when you hear me say

It ain't over

Over

Yeah

Yeah

It ain't over

Over

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Oh

Oh

We'll all go back to the same hole

The deeper I dive

The more I'm sure

You're still by my side

Wherever I go

Oh

My life's been good, it's time to go

Bye bye my friend

And what do you know?

In time

We all gonna be alive

It's not

that it ain't over

Over

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

It ain't over

Over

Oh

We'll all go back to the same hole

Oh

See you soon

We'll all go back to the same hole

Oh

Oh

We'll all go back to the same hole
