[English]

I've been painting pictures

Pictures of you and I

Covered in bruises

When did I let it die?

Shouldn't have let you stick those pins and needles through my skin

I can't walk on water

Can you tame this hurricane?

Break my heart tonight with your lies

We could be better on the other side

Don't need another fight you and I

You used to be my satellite satellite

Satellite, satellite

You and I - You and I

You used to be my satellite, satellite

Don't need another fight - You and I

You used to be my satellite, satellite

I can feel you're fading

How could I make you stay?

When did we get so degraded?

Hatred in every way

I'm tired of nightmares haunting

Pictures blurring

Ghosts that leave those blood stains on the wall

I can't walk on water

Can you tame this hurricane?

Break my heart tonight with your lies

We could be better on the other side

Don't need another fight you and I

You used to be my satellite satellite

You and I

You and I - You and I

You used to be my satellite, satellite

Don't need another fight - You and I

You used to be my satellite, satellite

You and I

You and I

You and I

You and I

Will this be that one last time

That I see the stars shine?

Will this be that one last time

That I see your bright eyes?

Gotta find a new satellite

Satellite, satellite

You and I - You and I

You used to be my satellite, satellite

Don't need another fight - You and I

You used to be my satellite, satellite

You and I

You and I

You and I

You and I
