[English]

With my words across your face

You're making up stories of your own

Little bits of white paper

In pockets deeper than you know

You painted black upon the whitest lies

You've seen them fall, you have seen them rise

You painted black upon the whitest lies, lies, your lies

Push play, stop rewind

You drown your heroes in red wine

Push play, stop rewind,

You drown your heroes in red wine

Push play, stop rewind

You drown your heroes in red wine

Push play, stop rewind.

...

You painted black upon the whitest lies

You've seen them fall, you have seen them rise

You painted black upon the whitest lies, lies, your lies

Push play, stop rewind

You drown your heroes in red wine

Push play, stop rewind

You drown your heroes in red wine

Close enough to see your hands sneaking out of his embrace

Paper thin, whispering, breaking in

You painted black upon the whitest lies

You've seen them fall, you have seen them rise

You painted black upon the whitest lies, lies, your lies

Push play, stop rewind

You drown your heroes in red wine

Push play, stop rewind

You drown your heroes in red wine

Push play, stop rewind

You drown your heroes in red wine

Push play, stop rewind

You drown your heroes in red wine

(Push play, stop rewind)

...

Push play, stop rewind

You drown your heroes in red wine

Push play, stop rewind
