[English]

The cars pass by outside

From one sign to the next

She tries to listen

Tries to care

Pretending he knows best

She's afraid of what she's done

Not knowing what it is

She prays for something

Prays for his sins

Someday she'll find rest

But the time is never right

No it's never right

To step outside her life

To find what's been lost

She'll sleep on it tonight

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

A voice she left behind

Tells her that there's time

She bears the burden

Blames her own sin

Hopes she'll change her mind

The pain that never hides

A reflection from inside

She conceals the message

Buries her head

Tells herself she's fine

But her eyes

They say goodbye

No, they never lie

The windows to her life

To find what's been lost

She'll sleep on it tonight

Oh-oh she'll sleep on it tonight

Oh-oh she'll sleep on it tonight

Oh she feels alive without a reason

Love

Pain

Tonight

She finally listens

She, she comes alive

Without a reason

Love

Pain

Tonight

She finally listens

She, she feels alive

Without a reason

Love

Pain

Tonight

She finally listens

She, she comes alive

Without a reason

Love

Pain

Tonight

She finally listens

She, she feels alive

Without a reason

Love

Pain

Tonight
