[English]
How many things have changed in life
...
How many things are still the same
How many times I thought it's over
Then I woke up on a Monday
How many times I thought in life
I want to do what I feel like
Then things slipped right through my fingers
And reality would hit
How many things are gone by now
Things that will never come back
...
How many times I thought in life
I can do it even without you
Then I woke up all sweaty
Without knowing why
How many times I was wrong, yeah
How many times it went okay like that
How many times I pretended nothing was wrong
But I understood, yeah
How many times trouble came knocking
Even though I was already better by then
...
I don’t want to live anymore
Just to keep you company
I don’t want to laugh anymore
I don’t enjoy it, and it’s my fault
I don’t want to believe
That tomorrow will be
Different, and who knows what will come?
...
How many times I thought in life
I can do it even without you
Then I woke up all sweaty
Without knowing why
How many times I was wrong, yeah
How many times it went okay like that
How many times I pretended nothing was wrong
But I understood, yeah
How many times trouble came knocking
Even though I was already better by then
I don’t want to live anymore
Just to keep you company
I don’t want to laugh anymore
I don’t enjoy it, and it’s my fault
I don’t want to believe
That tomorrow will be
Different, and we’ll see what comes?
