[English]

If you take me down, you better

You better,

you better win

Cause I don't wanna do this ever again

And when you say you're leaving, you better

You better never come again

Cause I don't know who does this to a friend

You know you got me so cold

Running round in circles

Spinning out of control

And we are the reason we live with these problems

I still don't believe it, a season is ending again

And I can't comprehend it

I just don't know and you don't know either

My friends tell me you're doing better

And right now I'm worse than the weather

And it's raining

You know you got me so cold

Running round in circles

Spinning out of control

And we are the reason we live with these problems

So cold

Running round in circles

Spinning out of control

I don't know, I can't let you go

I don't know, I can't let you go

You know you got me so cold

Running round in circles

Spinning out of control

And we are the reason we live with these problems

So cold

Running round in circles

Spinning out of control

I don't know, I can't let you go

I don't know, I can't let you go
