[English]

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Every little smile hides a little lie

Could cut this silence with a knife

Subatomic bliss, there's nothing left to miss

It's just empty Russian roulette

Try to brush it off my shoulder

We feel the world is getting colder

And I don't wanna lie

Every time I smile

I'm fallin' out of love-ove-ove

Fallin' out of love-ove-ove

I've had about enough of us, of us

Fallin' out of love

(Oh, oh-oh-oh)

Oceans in our eyes every time we cry

I'm feelin' the fire die

Finally, the tears feel so insincere

We're fallin' to the dark side

Try to brush it off my shoulder

We feel the world is getting colder

And I don't wanna lie

Every time I smile

I'm fallin' out of love-ove-ove

Fallin' out of love-ove-ove

I've had about enough of us, of us

Fallin' out of love

I'm not gonna be that girl

You can't bring me back to your world

You know that we've run out of time

(Out of time)

I promise not to turn around

So go ahead and burn us down

'Cause I don't wanna lie

Every time I smile

I'm fallin' out of love-ove-ove

Fallin' out of love-ove-ove

I've had about enough of us, of us

Fallin' out of love

I'm fallin' out of love-ove-ove

Fallin' out of love-ove-ove (fallin' out of love)

I've had about enough of us, of us

Fallin' out of love

(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
