[English]

Tell me what I've gotta do

There's no getting through to you

The lights are on, but nobody's home

...

You say I can't understand

But you're not giving me a chance

When you leave me, where do you go?

All the walls that you keep building

All this time that I spent chasing

All the ways that I keep losing you

And the truth is, you turned into someone else

You keep running like the sky is falling

I can whisper, I can yell

But I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know, I'm just talking to myself

Talking to myself, talking to myself

But I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know, I'm just talking to myself

I admit I made mistakes

But yours might cost you everything

Can't you hear me calling you home?

Oh, all the walls that you keep building

All this time that I spent chasing

All the ways that I keep losing you

And the truth is, you turned into someone else

You keep running like the sky is falling

I can whisper, I can yell

But I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know, I'm just talking to myself

Talking to myself, talking to myself

Yeah, I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know, I'm just talking to myself

...

All the walls that you keep building

All this time that I spent chasing

All the ways that I keep losing you

And the truth is, you turned into someone else

You keep running like the sky is falling

I can whisper, I can yell

But I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know, I'm just talking to myself

I'm talking to myself, I'm talking to myself

Yeah, I know, yeah, I know, yeah, I know, talking to myself
