I'm so tired of being here 00:14

Suppressed by all my childish fears 00:21

And if you have to leave 00:28

I wish that you would just leave 00:31

'Cause your presence still lingers here 00:34

And it won't leave me alone 00:38

These wounds won't seem to heal 00:42

This pain is just too real 00:45

There's just too much that time cannot erase 00:48

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears 00:54

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears 01:01

And I held your hand through all of these years 01:07

But you still have all of me 01:13

01:24

You used to captivate me by your resonating light 01:35

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind 01:42

Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams 01:49

Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me 01:56

These wounds won't seem to heal 02:03

This pain is just too real 02:06

There's just too much that time cannot erase 02:09

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears 02:15

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears 02:22

And I held your hand through all of these years 02:28

But you still have all of me 02:34

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone 02:43

But though you're still with me 02:54

I've been alone all along 03:00

03:08

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears 03:19

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears 03:25

I held your hand through all of these years 03:31

But you still have all of me 03:37

Me, me 03:53

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

'Cause your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

...

You used to captivate me by your resonating light

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along

...

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears

I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

Me, me

...
