[English]

It's looking like a limb torn off

Or altogether just taken apart

We're reeling through an endless fall

We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

No one's gonna love you more than I do

And anything to make you smile

It is my better side of you to admire

But they should never take so long

Just to be over then back to another one

And no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone

They could have warned you

When things start splitting at the seams and now

The whole thing's tumbling down

Things start splitting at the seams and now

If things start splitting at the seams and now

It's tumbling down

Hard

...

And anything to make you smile

You are the ever-living ghost of what once was

I never want to hear you say

That you'd be better off

Or you liked it that way

And no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

...

No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone

They should have warned you

IF things start splitting at the seams and now

The whole thing's tumbling down

Things start splitting at the seams and now

If things start splitting at the seams and now

It's tumbling down

Hard

...
