[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

...
