Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You said this could have been the best thing

That ever happened to you, so you decided not to do it

Now you come back every summer like a carnivorous flower

And I stare at your hands in the heat, and I

Think they are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

But if I was free to love you

You wouldn't want me, would you?

Unavailability is the only thing that turns you on

Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong

I've blown apart my life for you

And bodies hit the floor for you

And break me, shake me, devastate mе

Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong

I don't love you, I just love the bomb

Buildings falling is the only thing that turns me on

I've blown apart my life for you

And bodies hit the floor for you

And break me, shake me, devastate mе

Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong

I don't love you, I just love the bomb (oh-oh-oh)

I let it burn, but it just had to be done (oh-oh-oh)

And I'm in ruins, but is it what I wanted all along?

Sometimes you get the girl, sometimes you get a song

...
