[English]
The clock hands mark the hours
But I’m always the last to see
And I wonder if you take your time
Or if you’re going to forget eventually
Time tells me stories
But all of them stay unread (yeah)
I keep memories of you
Even if they hurt
Even if they hurt
It’s been hours without you
That became days without you
And no matter how many plans I make
No matter how many years pass
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 now (yeah)
I already told you I’m waiting
If you swear never to leave again (yeah)
In the end
I do the math
And I know you’re going to lose
But I pretend
When you tell me things
And I can't understand
When you ask for calm
And I refuse to back down
When you are part of me
Yes, you are the best part of me
It’s been hours without you
That turned into days without you
And no matter how many plans I make
No matter how many years pass
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)
It’s been hours without you
That turned into days without you
And no matter how many plans I make (no matter)
No matter how many years pass (no matter)
I don’t want even one more day without you
I don’t want even one more day without you
