Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Wooah, yeah yeah

Yeah

Jade is not alone

But all he can feel is lonely

His bedroom doesn't feel like home, yeah

The sounds posts through the walls

The hate from a man who only

Knows how to love by casting stones, yeah

And through it all do we see or feel it

His tears dry but the years reveal it

We stay blind to the sounds we see

When the truth could set them free

Time to think it over

Beyond the pain and disregard

We got to see through these scars

Love will bring use closure

If we can be who we are

We gotta see through these scars

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

Sarah takes the blame

For a time that is gone forever

Her past is an everlasting maze, yeah

And in this role she plays

Against who is in the mirror

It's a constant struggle everyday, yeah

And through it all do we see or feel it

His tears dry but the years reveal it

We stay blind to the sounds we see

When the truth could set them free

Time to think it over

Beyond the pain and disregard

We got to see through these scars

Love will bring use closure

If we can be who we are

We gotta see through these scars

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

...

And through it all do we see or feel it

His tears dry but the years reveal it

Time to think it over

Beyond the pain and disregard

We got to see through these scars

(We gotta see, we gotta see)

Love will bring use closure

If we can be who we are

We gotta see through these scars

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

We gotta see through these scars

(We gotta see through these scars)

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

We gotta see through these scars

(Through the scars)

...
