[English]

I know

That NASA has cameras - spinning in space

That they spend day and night - looking from top to bottom

And I'm about to call - to ask them for a job

To see if I relax

Because

I'm jealous that you're

with someone - that I know doesn't exist

And that together you do things - that I know you didn't do

I don't want to imagine - another person undressing you

That makes me sad

Sorry

For thinking things that aren't true

It's just that before you - they messed up my heart

That's why I ask you for forgiveness

None of this is your fault

I don't want our future - to be destroyed by my past

I wish I had - a button in my chest

To erase the memory - from my heart

I think that someone else

writes you letters - with a dedication

And it gives me like - a respiratory acceleration

And they say that in life - there are no perfect things

Happiness - can't be complete

Insecurities - that disguise themselves as jealousy

Turn me into a spy - even though I don't want to be

But please don't walk away from - me

And if I ever hurt you because of that

Sorry

For thinking things that aren't true

It's just that before you - they messed up my heart

That's why I ask you for forgiveness

None of this is your fault

I don't want our future - to be destroyed by my past

I wish I had - a button in my chest

To erase - the memory from my heart

I wish I had - a button in my chest

To erase the memory - from my heart
