[English]

Lovers, into friends

Move on, to strangers

Let go, no more us

Move on, I'm trying

Denying

Saying "Time will heal"

Keep lying

To make me feel

I'm okay

So you believe

I forget you

Seriously

Really...

Are you kidding me?

You're out of your

You're out of your

You're out of your mind

To think that I

You're out of your

You're out of your

You're out of your mind

To think that I

To think that I can

Keep you out of mind

...

Happy, used to be

Together, you and me

Things die, drift apart

Wait for, a new start

Denying

Think you'll fade away

Keep lying

I can hear you say

"You're in touch with Reality"

Mm baby I say

Are you kidding me?

You're out of your

You're out of your

You're out of your mind

To think that I

You're out of your

You're out of your

You're out of your mind

To think that I

To think that I can

Keep you out of mind

...

How can you say

I'll be alright?

What makes you think

That I'll be fine?

Baby you have to be

Completely out of your

You're out of mind

To think that I can keep you

Out of mind

You're out of your

You're out of your

You're out of your

You're out of your mind

To think that I

You're out of your

You're out of your

You're out of your mind

To think that I

To think that I can keep you

Out of mind

You're out of your mind

You're out of your mind

You're out of your mind

...

To think that I

To think that I

To think that I

To think that I can keep you

Out of mind

...
