Lyrics:

[English]

I like to walk

In the middle of the night

To clear my mind

I like the rush of the cars going by

When I'm under the fading lights

I walk alone

I hide my phone

I can't stand feeling miserable

I don't want to

Come back to you

This awkward thing 'cause I can't stand it

Little by little, by little, I'm falling apart

And little by little, I'm losing a piece of my heart

And I wish I knew

How I could've fixed you

I can't talk 'cause I end up shouting

I gotta get out I feel like I'm drowning

I take this much to face my hate

I lie awake feeling nothing, babe

If your above then help me out

Oh, praise then, please let me down

Little by little, by little, I'm falling apart

And little by little, I'm losing a piece of my heart

And I wish I knew

How I could've fixed you

Hold me

Feels better when you hold me

I've been feeling lonely

Even though you've got me

Hold me

Feels better when you hold me

I've been feeling lonely

Even though you've got me

And I wish I knew

(Hold me, feels better when you hold me)

How I could've fixed you

(I've been feeling lonely, even though you've got me)

And I wish I knew

(Hold me, feels better when you hold me)

How I could've fixed you

(I've been feeling lonely, even though you've got me)

Little by little, by little, I'm falling apart

And little by little, I'm losing a piece of my heart
