[English]

Yeah, I've got regrets

But they'd never measure up to the heavy hole you'd leave

Oh, if you left

I know I'd spend my life just chasing memories

Tracing back our steps

Trying to find out when

When did never ends, turn into enemies

Lying in our beds

My head is miles ahead

I'm skipping to the end

Oh, I think I would lose my mind

If I would ever lose you

I'd leave my heart behind

If I would ever lose you

Nothing in my chest, just take it

All the breath in my lungs, just wasted

'Cause I think I would lose my mind

If I would ever lose you

If I would ever lose you

If I would ever lose you

I'd be alone in the gray

Lost in the daze of heartbreak, if I ever let you go

What can I say?

Without you, I'm just a shade of someone I used to know

Tracing back our steps

Trying to find out when

When did never ends, turn into enemies

Lying in our beds

My head is miles ahead

I'm skipping to the end

Oh, I think I would lose my mind

If I would ever lose you

I'd leave my heart behind

If I would ever lose you

Nothing in my chest, just take it

All the breath in my lungs, just wasted

'Cause I think I would lose my mind

If I would ever lose you

If I would ever lose you

If I would ever lose you (don't ever lose you)

If I would ever lose you (don't ever lose you)

If I would ever lose you
