[English]

I break it, by God, your face

...

Awakened, two eyes, ballooning

Open sesame

Super silence in the quiet, eye inside the storm

Water from your broken iris fell toward the floor

Everything waiting, shakin' as it drops

I tried for you and I, for too hard, for too long

Gave it all and everything for more time, but I lost

Ooh, we're breakin' down

Whispers would deafen me now

You don't make a sound

Heartbreak was never so loud

...

Two hearts foldin'

Pulling everything

Ooh, I'm breakin' down

Whispers would deafen me now

You don't make a sound

Heartbreak was never so loud

...

Ooh, I'm breakin' down

Whispers would deafen me now

You don't make a sound

It's all so incredibly loud

It's all so incredibly loud
