[English]
The clock hands mark the hours
But I'm always the last to see
And I wonder if it takes you a while
Or if you're going to forget eventually
Time tells me stories
But they're all left unread (yeah)
I keep the memories of you
No matter how much it hurts
No matter how much it hurts
Those were hours without you
That turned into days without you
And no matter how many plans I make
No matter how many years go by
I don't want even one more day without you
I don't want even one more day without you
Was everything sincere?
Can you hear me? (yeah)
I've told you I wait
If you swear you'll never leave again (yeah)
In the end,
I do the math
And I know you lose
But I pretend
When you tell me
And I just can't understand
When you ask me to stay calm,
And I don't give in
When you are part of me,
Yes, you are the best part of me
Those were hours without you
That turned into days without you
And no matter how many plans I make
No matter how many years go by
I don't want even one more day without you
I don't want even one more day without you (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
No matter how many years pass (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
No matter how many plans I make (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I don't want
I don't want even one more day without you (day)
I don't want even one more day without you (day)
Those were hours without you
That turned into days without you
And no matter how many plans I make (more)
No matter how many years pass (more)
I don't want even one more day without you
I don't want even one more day without you
