[English]

How's it feel?

How's it feel with your broken heart?

Can't reveal, can't reveal all these fucking scars

Hurt me now, kill the pain, this is just the start

Kill me now, numb the pain, I just want it to stop

Run away, run away from my broken heart

Kill me now, numb the pain, this is just the start

Run away, run away from my broken heart

Kill me now, numb the pain, this is just the start

Heart broken, no one can feel me

Heart open, with an incision

You broke it, too many faces running

I'm nothing, I'm nothing different

...
