[English]

It's so uncomfortable at times
Finding it so hard to say I'm broken (Again)
The things we never talk about
I'm a bit afraid to let you know it
When I told you it was fine
It was just another lie
Just like boys don't cry
Lost in the threads of the little spider webs
Got me hiding in a corner
Trying not to call her
This is how the heart breaks
Just like you said
A fairy tale from hell
Thanks to everything you told me
Even though I'm lonely
Imma be OK

When I told you it was fine
It was just another lie
Saying boys don't cry
Lost in the threads of the little spider webs
Got me hiding in a corner
Trying not to call her
This is all a heartbreak
Just like you said
A fairy tale from hell
Thanks to everything you told me
Even though I'm lonely
Imma be OK
(Imma, Imma)
(Imma, Imma)
Imma be OK
(Imma, Imma)
(Imma, Imma)
Imma be OK
