[English]

I've abandoned hope looking for something that was real

I'll try not to think about it, I don't want to feel

'Cause it's all just too much to carry, it's so much to run

I've lived in levity so long

I'm forever haunted by the choices that I've made

A weight beyond imagining that never seems to fade

For every scar I've left behind comes back to me in waves

I run from love, I run away

'Cause despite it all, I'm fine

Despite the pain we shared

I told you stories, told you lies

I never should have dared open the door

The tears of the past mean nothing anymore

And you're not supposed to miss me

To hell with everyone who ever swore they'd help me

Don't you tell me what I want or what I need

'Cause I'm the bigger man, I'm never looking back

And you won't see me again

'Cause you're not supposed to love me

Family fell apart, they made me feel like I was weak

So I cut them from my life, my feelings buried far beneath

No, I do not deserve to be forgiven of my sins

Shut up and leave me in ruins

'Cause despite it all, I'm fine

Despite the pain we shared

I told you stories, told you lies

I never should have dared open the door

The tears of the past mean nothing anymore

And you're not supposed to miss me

To hell with everyone who ever swore they'd help me

Don't you tell me what I want or what I need

'Cause I'm the bigger man, I'm never looking back

And you won't see me again

'Cause you're not supposed to love me

No, you're not supposed to love me

...

You're making this so hard

Won't let me disappear

Somehow, you see me in the dark

Too long I lived in fear, now it's too late

No, I don't want to go

But I chose my own fate

I hate you, but you'll still miss me

So thank you everyone who ever tried to help me

After all that's said and done

You held me close and made me understand

But I'll never come back

And you won't see me again

'Cause you're not supposed to love me

No, you're not supposed to love me

No, you're not supposed to love me

...

You're not supposed to love me

...
