[English]

What do you want from me?

Just let me breathe a little

What do you want to see?

Something visible?

What do you want to believe?

Still nothing can be settled

Hold on to your words

You say it's no good

What are you seeking?

And what will you accept?

One of two!

I still don't know that (Don't know)

You, laughing next to me

Hey liar, hey liar

What do you think of living without me?

Hey liar, hey liar

What is a lie and what is the truth?

Must be a dream I see

Just like déjà vu

Trying so hard to know inside of you

It's telling your eyes to feel this emotion

I wish it would reach you

Contrary to my ideals, so cold (So cold)

You, smiling next to me

Hey liar, hey liar

If everything is a lie, then

I'm tired, so tired

What do you think of living without me? Ooh, oh, oh

(There's nothing left to bleed)

(There's nothing left to bleed)

(My heart can't take this anymore)

There's nothing left to bleed

There's nothing left to bleed

There's nothing left to bleed

My heart can't take this anymore

There's nothing left to bleed

There's nothing left to bleed

My heart can't take this anymore

Hey liar, hey liar

What do you think of living without me?

Hey Liar, oh yeah Liar

Is staying meaningless?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

...

Ooh yeah

Ooh yeah

...
