[English]

Cut me through my skin

Through the heart, yeah, you went right in

I fell for every word you said

I come here but I can't stay

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Why some things have to be this way

We build it up (build it up) to break it down

And then we're lost (then we're lost) until we're found

And when we're high further from the crown

If all is fair in love and war

I can't do this anymore

If all is fair in love and war

I can't do this anymore

So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me

So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me

You told me from the start

Nothing could tear us apart

Now when I look I see a stranger

I come here but I can't stay

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Why some things have to end this way

We build it up (build it up) to break it down

And then we're lost (then we're lost) until we're found

And when we're high further from the crown

If all is fair in love and war

I can't do this anymore

If all is fair in love and war

I can't do this anymore

So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me

So unfair, so unfair, so unfair to me
