[English]

Honey, can't you see I'm bleeding out?

Say that I look pretty

Crimson on my ivory gown

Are you trying to kill me?

Trying to see how far I'll let you go

Now, I know

Ooh, ooh

Your heart is nothing but an ornament

Nothing but a bit of flesh

Ooh, ooh

My scars are standing as a testament

You were never innocent, no

Tell me, can you even feel a thing

Are you gonna help me

Put me out my suffering, oh?

Are you some freak of nature?

Are your lungs made of paper?

Is your skin an illusion?

There's no way that you're human

Ooh, ooh

Your heart is nothing but an ornament

Nothing but a bit of flesh

Ooh, ooh

My scars are standing as a testament

You were never innocent, no

Are you some freak of nature?

Are your lungs made of paper?

Is your skin an illusion?

There's no way that you're human

Ooh, ooh

Your heart is nothing but an ornament

Nothing but a bit of flesh

Ooh (are you an illusion?)

Ooh (are you even human?)

My scars are standing as a testament

You were never innocent, no
