[English]

When the tears fall away

And there's no conversation

There's nothing left to break

That's not already broken

You're staring into space

And every inch of silence

Been standing here for days, and days

Said it all

Nothing to say at all

Nothing to say that matters

Haven't we heard enough?

Said it all

Nothing to say at all

Nothing to say that matters

Doesn't matter any more

In the sudden light of day

The weight of expectation

Hurt begins to fade

As you find a new direction

Been talking here for days and days and days

Said it all

Nothing to say at all

Nothing to say that matters

Haven't we heard enough?

Said it all

Nothing to say at all

Nothing to say that matters

Doesn't matter any more

All of the miles of words we've spoken

All of the lines that got away

Didn't we take the time to say them all?

All of the miles of words we've spoken

All of the lines that got away

Didn't we take the time to say them all?

Said it all

Nothing to say at all

Nothing to say that matters

Haven't we heard enough?

Said it all

Nothing to say at all

Nothing to say that matters

Haven't we said it all?
