[English]

I'm sorry but

Don't wanna talk

I need a moment before I go

It's nothing personal

I draw the blinds

They don't need to see me cry

'Cause even if they understand

They don't understand

So then when I'm finished

I'm all 'bout my business

And ready to save the world

I'm takin' my misery

Make it my bitch

Can't be everyone's favourite girl

So, take aim and fire away

I've never been so wide awake

No, nobody but me can keep me safe

And I'm on my way

The blood moon is on the rise

The fire burning in my eyes

No, nobody but me can keep me safe

And I'm on my way

...

...

Lo siento mucho (Farru)

Pero me voy (eh)

Porque a tu lado me di cuenta que nada soy (eh-eh)

Y me cansé de luchar y de guerrear en vano

De estar en la línea de fuego y de meter la mano

Acepto mis errores, también soy humano

Y tú no ve que lo hago porque te amo (pum-pum-pum-pum)

Pero ya (ya)

No tengo más na que hacer aquí (aquí)

Me voy, llegó la hora de partir (partir)

De mi propio camino, seguir lejos de ti

So, take aim and fire away

I've never been so wide awake

No, nobody but me can keep me safe

And I'm on my way

The blood moon is on the rise (is on the rise, na-na)

The fire burning in my eyes (the fire burning in my eyes, na)

No, nobody but me can keep me safe

And I'm on my way

...

(I'm on my way)

(Ever... everybody keep me safe)

(Ever... everybody keep me safe)

...

(Ever... everybody keep me safe)

(Ever... everybody)

(Everybody on my way)

So, take aim and fire away

I've never been so wide awake

No, nobody but me can keep me safe

And I'm on my way

The blood moon is on the rise

The fire burning in my eyes

No, nobody but me can keep me safe

And I'm on my way

...
