[English]

Can't look you in the eye

I tried a million times, don't care enough to fight

Don't wanna tell you I'm leavin'

Now I don't have the heart

I don't know where to start, it's gettin' pretty dark

And I don't wanna believe it

But it feels like

Each time I say something, I only start something

Better if I say nothing, nothing at all

When I open my mouth (Mouth), open my mouth (Mouth)

Open my, open my, open my mouth

I let you down, d-down, let you down, d-down

I let you down, let you down, let you down

When I open my mouth (Mouth), open my mouth (Mouth)

Open my, open my, open my mouth

I let you down, d-down, let you down, d-down

I let you down, let you down, let you down

I know it's gonna hurt, so I leave out the words

I only make it worse, doesn't make it any better

I know it's all my fault, that we never evolve

Been dodgin' all your calls and I'm dying to surrender

But it feels like

Each time I say something, I only start something

Better if I say nothing, nothing at all (Ooh-oh)

When I open my mouth (Mouth), open my mouth (Mouth)

Open my, open my, open my mouth

I let you down, d-down, let you down, d-down

I let you down, let you down, let you down

When I open my mouth (Mouth), open my mouth (Mouth)

Open my, open my, open my mouth

I let you down, d-down, let you down, d-down

I let you down, let you down, let you down

Each time I say something, I only start something

Better if I say nothing, nothing at all

I tried to be honest but all I do is lie

Don't wanna hurt you, I know I only hurt you

When I open my mouth (Mouth), open my mouth (Mouth)

Open my, open my, open my mouth

I let you down, d-down, let you down, d-down

I let you down, let you down, let you down

When I open my mouth (Mouth), open my mouth (Mouth)

Open my, open my, open my mouth

I let you down, d-down, let you down, d-down

I let you down, let you down, let you down

...

When I, mm
